What is PaaS?
Platform as a Service: Defined
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides a comprehensive suite of services to support the deployment, management, and scaling of applications. As an integral part of cloud services, alongside Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS), PaaS offers a higher level of abstraction compared to IaaS.
PaaS not only eliminates the need for businesses to manage underlying infrastructure but also provides and manages critical components like operating systems, middleware, and server-side applications. This enables organizations to focus on their core activities while leveraging a secure, scalable, and efficient cloud environment.
