Explanation

In Platform as a Service (PaaS), the cloud provider manages the underlying infrastructure - including hardware, networking, operating system, middleware, and runtime environments. The customer is responsible only for their applications and the data they place on the platform. This contrasts with SaaS, where the provider also manages the application, leaving the customer responsible only for data. In IaaS, the customer manages the OS, middleware, and applications in addition to data. CaaS (Container as a Service) sits between IaaS and PaaS.
