Explanation

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform (IaaS/PaaS), not a SaaS product - it provides infrastructure and services on which developers build and host applications, rather than delivering a finished software application directly to end users. Yahoo Maps, Microsoft Office 365, and Google Docs are all SaaS because they deliver ready-to-use software over the internet without requiring users to install or manage anything - you simply open a browser and use them. Azure, by contrast, requires you to provision, configure, and manage cloud resources like virtual machines, databases, and networking - the hallmark of a platform/infrastructure service. Memory tip: If you can open it in a browser and immediately start working (maps, documents, email), it's likely SaaS; if it's a cloud platform where engineers deploy and build things, think IaaS/PaaS - Azure belongs in that bucket alongside AWS and GCP.
