Explanation

Azure SQL Database and Azure Database for MySQL/PostgreSQL/MariaDB are Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings because Microsoft manages the underlying infrastructure, OS patching, and database engine maintenance - you only manage your data and schema. SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) because you are responsible for the OS, patches, and database engine configuration, just as you would with an on-premises server, but hosted in the cloud. Software as a Service (SaaS) does not apply to any Azure relational database service, as SaaS delivers fully managed applications to end users, not database infrastructure.
