Explanation

Cloud service models form a spectrum of customer control. In Software as a Service (SaaS), the provider manages everything - infrastructure, platform, runtime, middleware, applications, and data storage. The customer only interacts with the application through a browser or thin client and has virtually no control over configuration or deployment. In contrast, Platform as a Service (PaaS) lets customers deploy their own applications, and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) gives customers control over the OS, storage, and deployed applications. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) offers a managed virtual desktop but still allows some user-level configuration. SaaS (Software) therefore represents the least customer control.
