- Infrastructure as a Service: You buy the computing resources and control the operating system, storage, platform, deployed applications, and some limited infrastructure configurations, but you do not manage the physical infrastructure. Examples include bare-metal as a service, data center as a service, disaster recovery as a service, and storage as a service.
- Platform as a Service: You deploy applications onto a cloud platform service using provider-supplied tools. You have control over deployed applications and some limited platform configurations but do not manage the platform or infrastructure. Examples include backend as a service, database as a service, and function as a service.
- Software as a Service: You use a provider’s applications on the provider’s cloud infrastructure, but do not manage/control the platform or infrastructure. You have limited application-level configuration control. Examples include application as a service, customer relationship management as a service, office productivity as a service, and video as a service.
