Explanation

In the shared responsibility model, SaaS places the most responsibility on the cloud provider. With SaaS, the customer is only responsible for managing their data, user accounts, and the devices used to access the service - the provider manages everything else, including the application, runtime, OS, and infrastructure. PaaS requires you to also manage the application and its configuration, while IaaS requires managing the OS, middleware, and more on top of that.
