the cloud using an internet browser or a cloud computing software. Examples - Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google
Cloud Platform, Dropbox, etc.

2. Platform as a service (PaaS)

Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) refers to the supply an on-demand

environment for developing, testing, delivering and managing
software applications. It is designed to quickly create web or mobile
apps, without worrying about setting up or managing the underlying
infrastructure of servers, storage, network and databases needed
for development.

Examples- AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google App Engine, Microsoft

Azure.

3. Software as a service (SaaS)

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a method for delivering software

applications over the Internet as per the demand and on a
subscription basis. SaaS helps you host and manage the software
application and underlying infrastructure and handle any
