🟢Types of Cloud Computing

Types of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing provides various types of services, mainly categorized into three models:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

This model offers essential compute, storage, and networking resources on demand, on a pay-as-you-go basis. Users have control over their infrastructure without managing the physical hardware. Examples include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

PaaS provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. It is designed to make the development process faster and more efficient. Examples include Heroku, Google App Engine, and Red Hat OpenShift.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS delivers software applications over the internet, on a subscription basis. Users can access these applications from any device, anytime. This model eliminates the need for installing and running applications on individual computers. Examples include Google Workspace, Salesforce, and Microsoft Office 365.
