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.

我分享我的经验以及NIST的标准定义。我是产品公司的开发人员，我们拥有数据库和客户端(生态系统)。在许多清晰的图片旁边，由于许多参与者(NIST定义的5)和事物与预测不同，混淆出现了。

对于IaaS和裸金属部署，我们出售许可证和包，可以从CD或FTP服务器(rpm)获得。代码经过编译、测试和交付。在这里，我们的客户向我们支付(许可证成本)和/或向云提供商支付实例费用。

我们与云供应商(技术合作伙伴)合作，通过市场销售我们的产品。

通常我们在PaaS的情况下提供图像(ami,vhd等)+一些(云形成模板或ARM模板等)。我们有Jenkins管道将它们放在市场上(基于版本)。这里有一些技能，开发人员可以登录到实例并操作软件(例如，在数据库实例启动后登录并完全删除软件，使它看起来像EC2实例)

在SaaS的情况下，我们的Jenkins管道将直接部署(无论是web应用程序，azure/lambda函数)。开发人员/终端用户对物理硬件的控制都不低。

下面是NIST定义的参与者，因为开发者(提供软件的技术公司)是云提供商的合作伙伴，开发者最好的匹配是云提供商。

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

除此之外，我还使用过AWS, heroku，目前使用Jelastic并发现-

Jelastic提供Java和PHP云托管平台。Jelastic自动扩展Java和PHP应用程序并分配服务器资源，从而提供真正的下一代Java和PHP云计算。 http://blog.jelastic.com/2013/04/16/elastic-beanstalk-vs-jelastic/ 或 http://cloud.dzone.com/articles/jelastic-vs-heroku-1

我个人发现

Jelastic更快 你不需要编写任何jelastic api -只需上传你的应用程序和 选择你的堆栈。您还可以在 会的。

尝试其中任何一种，探索自己。这很有趣:-)

下面的链接很好地解释了SaaS, PaaS和Iaas。 http://opensourceforgeeks.blogspot.in/2015/01/difference-between-saas-paas-and-iaas.html

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。
