Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)Platform as a service (PaaS)Software as a service (SaaS)

Correct arrangement

  • Platform as a service (PaaS)
  • Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
  • Software as a service (SaaS)

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps each cloud service model to its defining characteristic: PaaS provides a managed platform/environment for developers to build and deploy applications without managing underlying infrastructure; IaaS provides virtualized computing resources (servers, storage, networking) over the internet, giving users control over the infrastructure layer; and SaaS delivers fully managed, ready-to-use software applications over the internet where the provider handles everything from infrastructure to the application itself. Each model represents a progressively higher level of abstraction and managed services, from raw infrastructure (IaaS) to development platforms (PaaS) to complete applications (SaaS).
