Cloud Service Models
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. Users manage OS, applications, and data while the provider manages hardware.
- Platform as a Service (PaaS): Offers development and deployment environment in the cloud. Provider manages infrastructure, OS, and middleware while users manage applications and data.
- Software as a Service (SaaS): Delivers software applications over the internet. Provider manages everything while users simply use the application.
- Private Cloud: Cloud infrastructure operated solely for a single organization. Can be managed internally or by third-party and hosted internally or externally.
These service models represent different levels of control and management responsibility between cloud providers and users.
