Answer Description
A Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud model that focuses on simplifying software delivery. A PaaS will try to automate everything but the software development itself, including the creation of application servers, configuration of those servers, network setup and possibly even creation of additional services like databases or file storage servers. The ultimate goal of a PaaS is to be so simple a developer can upload their code and it will run without the need of specialized IT operations teams to install, configure, monitor, etc. the application.
