Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In platform as a service (PaaS) model, service providers offer a computing platform, typically including an operating system, programming language execution environment, database, and web server. Customers can then run their own applications designed using the provided tools. This is different from software as a service (SaaS) where customers use software applications provided by the service provider, and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) where customers rent access to computing infrastructure such as processing, storage, and networking resources. Application as a service and hardware as a service are not commonly used terms in the cloud computing industry.
