Overview of Cloud Models

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)

• Virtual Machine, networking, loadbalancers, firewalls

• Pieces of hardware that are virtualized in the cloud

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)

• Upload code packages and have them run, without access to the hardware

• You're not managing the RAM, CPU, Disk space.

• Basically "Hey here is my program, please run it"

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

• Access to configuration only

• Think webapps such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Office 365

Always your Responsibility:

• Information and data
