Variation 1. A company is moving its email system to a cloud provider. The provider offers the software, platform, and infrastructure. Which TWO cloud service models are being used? (Select TWO.)
easy- A.SaaS (Software as a Service)
- ✓ B.PaaS (Platform as a Service)
- C.Public cloud
- D.Hybrid cloud
- ✓ E.IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
