Azure service types implementation

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to identify , Azure solutions/services (like VMs, Storage Accounts, etc) built on top of which Cloud service Type among IaaS, PaaS or SaaS ?

It would be great, if we have complete list of services based on Service types ?

Hi Azhagu Lakshmana Kumar,

Below is a compilation of services categorized by their service types, based on my understanding. This list could potentially provide you with useful information.

IaaS stands for "Infrastructure as a Service." It is a cloud computing model that provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. In an IaaS environment, customers can rent and manage IT infrastructure components like virtual machines, storage, networking, and sometimes even load balancers and firewalls, on a pay-as-you-go basis.

PaaS stands for "Platform as a Service." It is a cloud computing model that provides a platform and environment for developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. In a PaaS environment, developers can focus on writing code and developing applications, while the cloud provider manages the underlying hardware, networking, and operating system components.

SaaS stands for "Software as a Service." It is a cloud computing model that delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis. In the SaaS model, software vendors host and maintain the software application, making it accessible to users through a web browser without the need for them to install or manage the software locally.
