Please refer to the evaluation for more insight.
-
Classification: Network Administration
-
Topic(s): Cloud Computing
Can you explain the differences between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS in cloud computing? Provide an example of each.
Candidate's Answer:Nil
Evaluation:Your answer of "nil" is not correct or appropriate to the question asked during the interview. The question specifically requires you to explain the differences between IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service), along with examples of each. Simply responding with "nil" indicates a lack of understanding of these fundamental concepts in cloud computing.
To improve your answer, you could provide definitions and examples for each service model:
1. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): IaaS provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. Users can rent IT infrastructure (servers, storage, networks) on a pay-as-you-go basis. Example: Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 allows users to create and manage virtual servers.
2. PaaS (Platform as a Service): PaaS provides a platform for developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. It offers tools and services for app development. Example: Google App Engine allows developers to build web applications using Google's infrastructure.
3. SaaS (Software as a Service): SaaS delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis, eliminating the need for installation and maintenance. Users access the software via web browsers. Example: Microsoft 365 provides access to office applications such as Word and Excel online.
In an interview, showcasing your knowledge of these concepts, along with examples, would demonstrate your understanding of cloud computing technologies.
