Types
IaaS
Definition
IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) provides on-demand access to fundamental computing resources—physical and virtual servers, networking and storage—over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis
Use Case
Ideal for businesses that want to outsource their IT infrastructure to the cloud, avoiding the expense and complexity of owning and maintaining physical servers.
Examples
Example: Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) allows users to run virtual servers and manage computing resources.
Example: Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines provide flexible backup and recovery solutions.
PaaS
Examples
Example:Google App Engine allows developers to focus on coding while Google manages servers and scaling,
Example:Microsoft Azure API Management helps businesses manage their APIs at scale.
Definition
PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) provides software developers with an on-demand platform—hardware, complete software stack, infrastructure and development tools—for running, developing and managing applications without the cost, complexity and inflexibility of maintaining that platform on-premises.
Use Case
Useful for developers who want to focus on coding and application development without worrying about hardware, storage, and networking.
SaaS
Examples
Salesforce is a leading CRM tool used by businesses to manage customer data, Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) includes Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Drive for cloud-based collaboration.
Definition
SaaS (Software-as-a-Service), also known as cloud-based software or cloud applications, is application software hosted in the cloud. Users access SaaS through a web browser, a dedicated desktop client or an API that integrates with a desktop or mobile operating system.
Use Case
Best for businesses or individuals who want access to software applications without needing to manage installation or updates.
FaaS
Examples
AWS Lambda triggers functions to resize images without needing a dedicated server, Azure Functions runs code based on IoT triggers without managing the infrastructure.
Definition
Function as a service (FaaS) is a cloud-computing service that allows customers to run code in response to events, without managing the complex infrastructure typically associated with building and launching microservices applications.
Use Case
Useful for image Processing: Automatically process and resize images when users upload them to a website.
Event-Driven Automation: Automate responses to IoT device events, such as triggering alerts or logs when a sensor detects movement.
-
Look for providers with a strong support network and third-party integrations to facilitate smooth operations.
Balancing cost, reliability, quality, : and service is crucial to ensure both value and dependability.
Ensure that the provider offers robust security measures, encryption, and complies with industry standards
-
If your organization focuses on certain technologies like AI, data analytics, or specific business tools, ensure the provider excels in those areas.
Consider uptime guarantees, data center availability, and performance metrics such as latency.
