Why each option
The three recognized NIST cloud service delivery models are IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. All major public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) offer services across all three models.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a NIST SP 800-145 defined model where the provider manages the runtime, middleware, and OS, allowing customers to deploy applications without controlling the underlying infrastructure.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a NIST SP 800-145 defined model where virtualized compute, storage, and networking are provisioned on demand, giving customers control over OS and applications.
'Internet as a Service' is not a recognized cloud service model in NIST SP 800-145 or any major industry framework, and the IaaS acronym is already defined as Infrastructure as a Service.
'Graphics as a Service' is not a standardized cloud delivery model recognized by NIST or offered as a primary service category by major public cloud providers.
Software as a Service (SaaS) is a NIST SP 800-145 defined model where complete applications are delivered over the internet, with the provider managing all underlying layers.
