A cloud service model offers a complete platform for developing, running, and managing applications. The provider manages the underlying infrastructure, including servers, operating systems, and development tools, allowing developers to focus solely on their application's code. Which service model does this describe?
The correct answer is PaaS (Platform as a Service). PaaS provides a complete platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the underlying infrastructure. SaaS (Software as a Service) delivers ready-to-use software directly to the user over the internet on a subscription basis, with the provider managing the entire stack. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provides only the virtualized computing resources (servers, storage, networking) over the internet; the user must still manage the operating systems and applications. A Community cloud is a deployment model, not a service model, where cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations with common concerns.
