A software development company is planning to launch a new application in a highly competitive market. They require a cloud service that not only abstracts the underlying infrastructure to speed up development but also offers built-in tools for continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), database management, and scalability options to handle fluctuating loads. The company is also concerned about minimizing operational costs and ensuring compliance with industry standards. Considering these requirements, which cloud service type would be the most appropriate for this scenario? (Choose two options if E is available)
A
Software as a Service (SaaS) would be ideal as it eliminates the need for managing the infrastructure and provides the application ready to use.
B
Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers a managed environment with built-in tools for development, testing, and deployment, abstracting the underlying infrastructure.
C
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides the most control over the infrastructure but requires the company to manage more aspects of the environment.
D
None of the above as the company's requirements are too specific for standard cloud service types.
E
Both Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) could meet the company's needs depending on their preference for control versus convenience.
