A software development startup is creating a custom customer-facing web application. The team wants to deploy application code rapidly without spending time configuring operating systems, installing runtime environments, or managing virtual machine patching.
Which cloud service model best aligns with the startup's requirements?
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud. The cloud provider delivers and manages the underlying infrastructure—including servers, network equipment, storage, operating systems, and development runtime frameworks—allowing customers to focus exclusively on application development and data.
PaaS strikes the perfect balance between control and productivity for custom software development. Unlike Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which requires manual OS maintenance, and Software as a Service (SaaS), which provides pre-built applications rather than custom development platforms, PaaS provides the exact platform needed to accelerate application delivery.
