Explanation

In the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, the cloud provider manages virtually everything: physical infrastructure, networking, operating systems, middleware, runtime environments, and the application itself. The customer's only responsibilities are managing user accounts, access permissions, and their own data within the application. This is the least hands-on model for the customer. IaaS requires the customer to manage the OS, middleware, and applications. PaaS requires the customer to manage applications and data. DaaS (Desktop as a Service) still requires user and application management. SaaS represents the top of the cloud service stack with minimal customer overhead.
