Explanation

Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. PaaS includes infrastructure -- servers, storage, and networking -- but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems, and more. PaaS is designed to support the complete web application lifecycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating. However, virtual machines are examples of Infrastructure as a service (IaaS). IaaS is an instant computing infrastructure, provisioned and managed over the internet. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/what-is-paas/ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/what-is-iaas/
