SaaS: Software as a Service Cloud application services or “Software as a Service” (SaaS) are probably the most popular form of cloud computing and are easy to use. SaaS uses the Web to deliver applications that are managed by a third-party vendor and whose interface is accessed on the clients’ side. Most SaaS applications can be run directly from a Web browser, without any downloads or installations required. SaaS eliminates the need to install and run applications on individual computers. With SaaS, it’s easy for enterprises to streamline their maintenance and support, because everything can be managed by vendors: applications, runtime, data, middleware, O/S, virtualization, servers, storage, and networking. Gmail is one famous example of an SaaS mail provider.

PaaS: Platform as a Service The most complex of the three, cloud platform services or “Platform as a Service” (PaaS) deliver computational resources through a platform. What developers gain with PaaS is a framework they can build upon to develop or customize applications. PaaS makes the development, testing, and deployment of applications quick, simple, and cost-effective, eliminating the need to buy the underlying layers of hardware and software. One comparison between SaaS vs. PaaS has to do with what aspects must be managed by users, rather than providers: With PaaS, vendors still manage runtime, middleware, O/S, virtualization, servers, storage, and networking, but users manage applications and data.

IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service Cloud infrastructure services, known as “Infrastructure as a Service” (IaaS), deliver computer infrastructure (such as a platform virtualization environment), storage, and networking. Instead of having to purchase software, servers, or network equipment, users can buy these as a fully outsourced service that is usually billed according to the amount of resources consumed. Basically, in exchange for a rental fee, a third party allows you to install a virtual server on their IT infrastructure. Compared to SaaS and PaaS, IaaS users are responsible for managing more: applications, data, runtime, middleware, and O/S. Vendors still manage virtualization, servers, hard drives, storage, and networking. What users gain with IaaS is infrastructure on top of which they can install any required platforms. Users are responsible for updating these if new versions are released.

IaaS PaaS和SaaS的区别

云服务模型主要分为三类:

软件即服务(SaaS) 平台即服务(PaaS) 基础设施即服务(IaaS)

软件即服务(SaaS)

SaaS是一种为最终客户集中托管和管理的软件。它通常基于多租户架构(应用程序的单个版本用于所有客户)，并且通常通过每月或每年的订阅获得许可。

例子 Office 365、Dropbox、Dynamics CRM Online都是SaaS软件的完美例子，订阅者每月或每年支付订阅费，就可以获得Exchange即服务(在线和/或桌面Outlook)或Storage即服务(OneDrive和Dropbox)。

平台即服务(PaaS)

使用PaaS，您可以将应用程序部署到云服务供应商提供的应用程序托管环境(专为构建、测试和部署软件应用程序而设计)中。开发人员有多种方式来部署他们的应用程序，而不需要知道任何支持它的后台发生了什么。

例子 Azure应用程序服务和Azure云服务(Web和工作人员角色)中的Web应用程序功能是PaaS的一个例子。

基础设施即服务(IaaS)

IaaS云供应商运行和管理运行虚拟化软件的服务器场，使您能够创建运行在供应商基础设施上的虚拟机(运行Windows或Linux)，并在其上安装您想要的任何东西。开发人员不能控制硬件或虚拟化软件，但他们可以控制几乎所有其他的东西。事实上，与PaaS不同的是，您完全要对它负责。

IaaS、PaaS和SaaS基本上都是云计算领域。

IaaS(基础设施即服务)——基础设施即服务是云计算的一种提供模型，在这种模型中，组织将用于支持运营的设备外包，包括存储、硬件、服务器和网络组件。服务提供商拥有设备，并负责设备的安装、运行和维护。客户通常按使用次数付费。前亚马逊网络服务，BlueLock, Cloudscaling和Datapipe

PaaS (Platform as a Service) - Platform as a Service is one of the GROWING sector of cloud computing. PaaS basically help developer to speed the development of app, saving money and most important innovating their applications and business instead of setting up configurations and managing things like servers and databases. In one line I can say Platform as a service (PaaS) automates the configuration, deployment and ongoing management of applications in the cloud. Ex: Heroku, EngineYard, App42 PaaS and OpenShift

SaaS(软件即服务)——软件即服务，SaaS是一种软件交付方法，它以基于web的服务的形式提供对软件及其功能的远程访问。阿比柯和阿卡迈

简单来说:

IaaS，在这里，供应商向用户提供基础设施，用户获得硬件/虚拟化基础设施，存储和网络基础设施。

PaaS，在这里，供应商为用户提供平台，用户可以获得他们工作所需的所有东西，如操作系统、数据库、执行环境以及IaaS提供的环境。 所以pass是平台+ IaaS。

SaaS似乎是一个相当广泛的领域，供应商提供从基础设施到平台到软件的几乎所有东西。 所以SaaS是Iaas+PaaS加上不同的软件，如ms office，虚拟盒子等。

有三种主要类型的云服务:IaaS、PaaS和SaaS。您可能在云提供商的网站上看到过这些缩写。在讨论细节之前，让我们先比较一下IaaS、PaaS和SaaS与传输的关系:

On-premises IT infrastructure is like owning a car. When you buy a car, you’re responsible for its maintenance, and upgrading means buying a new car. IaaS is like leasing a car. When you lease a car, you choose the car you want and drive it wherever you wish, but the car isn’t yours. Want an upgrade? Just lease a different car! PaaS is like taking a taxi. You don’t drive a taxi yourself, but simply tell the driver where you need to go and relax in the back seat. SaaS is like going by bus. Buses have assigned routes, and you share the ride with other passengers.
