Question 2In which IaaS cloud environment can the customers deploy their middleware and install applications?1 pointIoTAIVirtual MachinesBlockchain

The correct answer is Virtual Machines.

In an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud environment, customers can deploy their middleware and install applications on Virtual Machines. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

1. IaaS provides the infrastructure such as virtual machines and other resources like virtual-machine disk image library, block and file-based storage, firewalls, load balancers, IP addresses, virtual local area networks etc.

2. These resources are all provided as a service. IaaS platforms offer highly scalable resources that can be adjusted on-demand. This makes IaaS well-suited for workloads that are temporary, experimental, or change unexpectedly.

3. In this environment, Virtual Machines are like physical computers, with their own CPU, memory, disk space, and network interface cards.

4. Customers can deploy their middleware, which is the software that acts as a bridge between an operating system or database and applications, especially on a network.

5. Additionally, customers can install applications on these Virtual Machines, just like they would do on their own personal computers or servers.

6. Therefore, in an IaaS cloud environment, Virtual Machines provide the flexibility for customers to manage their applications and middleware.

IoT, AI, and Blockchain are not correct answers because they are not environments where customers can deploy middleware and install applications. They are technologies that can be used within or alongside cloud environments.
