Types of services make up cloud-based systems
Within Cloud-based systems/cloud technology, there are three main different types of services that can be found, which are SaaS (software as a service), IaaS (infrastructure as a service and PaaS (platform as a service).
SaaS
commonly refers to the use of cloud-based solutions used through a internet connection. You may be wondering what is a cloud-based solution, this term refers to software such as email, Dropbox, google apps, Microsoft teams, Microsoft office 365 and other various tools.
PaaS
is a service that gives you access to a range of tools that can be used for development/creating cloud software or as an analytical tool. This can be ideal if you are trying to create your own software or if you have a large amount of data to analyze.
IaaS
is a service that provides your business the infrastructure required for tasks such as processing, data storage and networking. The main benefit of this service is that your business can gain all the benefits of found in a costly infrastructure without buying/managing the servers and datacenters.
