@Jayesh Poojary Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting our query here!

SQL Database, Azure Storage, and Azure Blob Storage Models:

1. SQL Database: Your understanding is correct. Azure SQL Database is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. It provides a managed database service that includes serverless compute and other features

2. Azure Storage: Azure Storage accounts can be a bit more complex. They are not strictly classified as IaaS or PaaS. Instead, they serve as containers for various storage solutions. For example, Azure Disk Storage is considered IaaS, while Azure Blob Storage is considered PaaS
