SaaS
• Cloud application services are the most well-known of the
cloud service models.
• The software is hosted, packaged, and delivered by a third
party through the Internet (typically on a browser-based
interface). By delivering the software application over the
Internet, enterprises can offload the costs of management
and maintenance to the vendor(s).
• Popular SaaS options include email and customer
relationship management software.
Service Models
Software as a Service (SaaS)

• SaaS delivers software applications

over the internet on a subscription
basis.
• Users can access and use applications
directly through a web browser or
APIs.
• The provider hosts and manages the
underlying infrastructure, application,
and data.
• Users can typically customize certain
aspects of the application to fit their
needs.
• Examples of SaaS include Salesforce,
Microsoft Office 365, and Google
SaaS Advantages
• Lower up-front cost :SaaS is generally subscription-based and has no up-front licence
fees resulting in lower initial costs. The SaaS provider manages the IT infrastructure
that is running the software, which brings down fees for hardware and software
maintenance.
• Quick set up and deployment : SaaS application is already installed and configured
in the cloud. This minimises common delays resulting from often lengthy traditional
software deployment.
• Easy upgrades : The SaaS providers deal with hardware and software updates,
deploying upgrades centrally to the hosted applications and removing this workload
and responsibility from you.
• Accessibility : All you need to access a SaaS application is a browser and an internet
connection. This is generally available on a wide range of devices and from anywhere in
the world, making SaaS more accessible than traditional business software installation.
• Scalability : SaaS providers generally offer many subscription options and flexibility to
change subscriptions as and when needed, eg when your business grows, or more
SaaS Disadvantages
• Lack of control :In-house software application gives businesses a higher
degree of control than hosted solutions where control resides with a third
party. Typically everyone has to use the latest version of the software
application and cannot defer upgrades or changes in the features.
• Security and data concerns : Access management and the privacy of
sensitive information is a major consideration around cloud and hosted
services.
• Limited range of applications :While SaaS is becoming more popular,
there are still many applications that don't offer a hosted platform.
• Connectivity requirement :Since the SaaS model is based on web
delivery, if your internet service fails, you will lose access to your software
or data
• Performance :SaaS may run at somewhat slower speeds than on-premise

PaaS
• This service layer is primarily geared towards developers
and operations professionals.
• Service providers rent out cloud-based platforms for users
to develop and deliver applications. In other words, PaaS
provides a framework that makes it easier and more
efficient to build, customize, and deploy applications.
 Service Models

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

PaaS offers a platform for developing, testing,
and deploying applications.
Users can focus on application development
without worrying about infrastructure
management.
PaaS providers manage the underlying
infrastructure, including servers, storage, and
networking.
Developers can leverage pre-configured
environments, development frameworks, and
deployment tools.
Examples of PaaS providers include Heroku,
PaaS Advantages
1. Multi-language development Having a PaaS means you can get multiple devs to work on
it at the same time. Some devs may know programming languages that others don’t, but it
also means those very devs can work on the same project without having to enlist the help of
another server.

2. Rich development environments PaaS come with their own infrastructure, meaning the
PaaS solution you choose can come with everything you need to develop apps, as well as make
instantaneous changes to them ready for deployment.

3. Can be used by all You don’t necessarily need an app developer or dedicated IT personnel
to build an app solution on your public PaaS.

4. Cheaper to run You won’t have to build any infrastructure for your dev environment,
meaning you already cut costs before you begin developing.

5. They’re scalable Add more capacity during peak periods, or scale down resources during
quiet ones. This can be done quickly with your provider, so that you experience little to no
downtime.

6. Speed This is not only isolated to the speed of development time, but also marketing your
business. With faster dev times, you can deploy and run apps much faster than with a physical
PaaS Disadvantages
1. Less control over infrastructure : A PaaS’s infrastructure is managed by your cloud hosting provider. However, if
you require something a bit more bespoke, you may need to consider what can (and can’t) be tailored. This is why some
businesses prefer private clouds, or an IaaS that can allow you to build it yourself.

2. Can be more expensive than an IaaS : Every public cloud provider has a service fee, including IaaS. However,
because a PaaS’s infrastructure is handled by the cloud provider, there may be additional or higher fees as a result. By
having an IaaS, you can build your own infrastructure and integrate the tools you need without having to incur additional
fees, or moving to a different PaaS provider altogether.

3. Cloud vendor lock-in : Relying on any public cloud solution, including a PaaS, may result in vendor-lock in and over-
dependency. It’s important to back-up your work regularly, and ensure if the worst happens with your PaaS that you can
easily move to another provider or invest in a private PaaS instead.

4. Security concerns : Any type of public cloud, including PaaS, is managed by the provider – including the security of
the cloud solution. However, while PaaS providers take necessary precautions to secure their platform, businesses will
need to have robust security measures around the apps they build. Plus, there’s the added issue of being on a public
cloud solution to begin with, which is shared by other users on their own VMs. If you work with sensitive data or solutions
for your business, then you’ll need to consider the security risks associated with this.

5. Integration issues : Leading back to our vendor lock-in issue somewhat, usually, running multiple PaaS or merging
them together can present some issues. Switching PaaS providers isn’t as simple as it sounds either, as the infrastructure
has to be able to support the languages used to develop your apps, as well as provide the service needed to run your
business specifically.
IaaS
• IaaS gives users access to storage, networking, servers, and other
computing resources via the cloud. While the user is still responsible
for managing their applications, data, middleware, etc., IaaS
provides automated and scalable environments that provide a high
degree of control and flexibility for the user.
• For example, many businesses use IaaS to support workload spikes
during busy seasons (like holidays).
• Popular IaaS providers include:
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Microsoft Azure
• Google Compute Engine (GCE), the IaaS component of Google Cloud
Service Models

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

IaaS provides virtualized computing
resources over the internet. Users
have control over the operating
systems, storage, and networking
components.

They can provision and manage

virtual machines (VMs), storage, and
networks according to their
requirements. Examples of IaaS
providers include AWS EC2, Azure
Virtual Machines, and Google
IaaS Advantages
1. Cost reduction : When searching for new business solutions, the service that delivers the most for the best price will
always be in favour. By eliminating the need for businesses to buy and maintain their own IT hardware, IaaS can
significantly reduce capital expenditure. Plus, with pay-as-you-go billing, you only pay for what you use, reducing overall
costs.

2. Flexibility : Due to the lack of vendor management, IaaS offers the most flexibility out of the IaaS, PaaS and SaaS
cloud computing services. You’re free to manage your own OS, software, middleware and applications, allowing you to
have full control over your business outside of resource provision.

3. Increased scalability : Since you’re renting resources as needed, you can quickly and easily scale up and down to
accommodate different workloads. This will prevent you from being overwhelmed during busy periods and overpaying for
extra resources at quieter times. This is especially useful for fast-growing businesses, as you’ll be able to scale your
resources to support your business at all times.

4. Increased performance : Thanks to this scalability, you’ll have the performance you need to take on any spike in
workload. You’ll be able to deliver resources faster than ever before to support your teams and grow your business.

5. Increased stability : It’s your provider’s responsibility to perform hardware maintenance, troubleshoot issues and
ensure that your infrastructure meets service-level agreements (SLAs). This gives you an incredibly reliable and stable IT
infrastructure that you don’t even have to manage yourself.

6. Improved security : Thanks to these SLAs, your provider is committed to ensuring the security of your infrastructure
against potential attacks and breaches. Often, the security they provide can be better than the measures you implement
in-house. Plus, if you need extra privacy and security, you can opt for private cloud IaaS to isolate your infrastructure from
other organisations.
IaaS Disadvantages
1. More training and expertise required

Less vendor management can be positive or negative depending on your needs. Although IaaS gives you
more control, you’ll also have more responsibility for managing your software and applications. This can be
time-consuming, especially if you need to train your staff to deal with the new systems.

2. Process changes

Switching to IaaS could cause difficulties with some of your legacy systems if they don’t integrate well with
the new infrastructure. These systems may need to be updated before you move over to IaaS, which can
be difficult and time-consuming.

3. Possible security risks

Although IaaS can improve security if your provider implements robust security measures (such as
firewalls, encryption and multi-factor authentication), it can also compromise security in some cases. In
particular, if you use a multi-tenant environment like a public cloud, you could be vulnerable to cyber
attacks and a lack of data privacy. Also, since you’re still in control of your software, OS and apps, you’ll
ultimately be responsible for mitigating security threats in these areas.

4. Vendor lock-in

Once you’ve switched to one IaaS provider, you may find it difficult to move to another one as this could
