Click here for Syllabus- Describe the differences between Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
- Describe Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
- Describe Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
- Describe Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
- Compare and contrast the three different service type
Tutorials
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) :- IaaS provides you the complete control over the hardware which runs your applications.It is substitute of buying the complete hardware by renting the IaaS. Network team has complete access of VMs, storage and OS).
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) :- It provides an environment for building , testing and deploying software applications. The aim of the Paas is to provide the platform where company can concentrate on the application development and its hardware is maintained by Cloud provider.
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): -It is the platform where application deployed on the Cloud e.g. Office 365, Skype etc.
IaaS | PaaS | SaaS |
Shared responsibility between User and Cloud Provider | Less responsibility to User and More responsibility to Cloud Provider | Maximum responsibility to Cloud provider |
