The cloud service model that the network engineer should recommend to the manager is software-as-a-service (SaaS).
SaaS is a cloud computing model in which a third-party provider hosts applications and makes them available to customers over the Internet. This means that the software is installed, managed, and updated by the provider, and the customer only needs to access it through a web browser or app, without having to worry about any of the technical details.
SaaS is particularly useful for applications that are only used occasionally, as it allows users to quickly access the software without the need for installation or maintenance. It also provides scalability, as the provider can easily increase the resources allocated to the software as demand grows.
Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) is a cloud computing model in which the provider offers virtualized computing resources, such as servers and storage, over the Internet. While this model can be useful for managing and scaling infrastructure, it does not directly address the manager's request for software that is easy to use without installation or management.
Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model in which the provider offers a platform for developing, testing, and deploying applications. While this model can be useful for developers, it is not directly relevant to the manager's request for software that is easy to use without installation or management.
Business process as service (BPaaS) is a cloud computing model in which the provider offers specific business processes, such as payroll processing or customer service, as a service. While this model can be useful for outsourcing specific business processes, it is not directly relevant to the manager's request for software that is easy to use without installation or management.
In conclusion, the most appropriate cloud service model that the network engineer should recommend for the manager's request is software-as-a-service (SaaS).
