Which cloud service model grants full OS access for the virtual machine?

The correct choice is the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model, which provides users with full access to the operating system of the virtual machine. In IaaS, cloud providers offer essential computing resources such as virtual machines, storage, and networking capabilities, and users can run any operating system and install any applications they need. This level of access allows users to customize their environments to meet specific requirements, manage applications, and perform system administration tasks.

In contrast, Platform as a Service (PaaS) primarily offers a platform for developers to build and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis, where users typically cannot modify the underlying OS. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) provides virtual desktop environments, but it generally does not offer the level of OS access that IaaS does. Thus, IaaS stands out for providing full control over the virtual machines, making it suitable for organizations that require such flexibility.
