Episode 79: Cloud Service Models — SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, and DaaS
This episode covers cloud service models, which define how computing resources are delivered. Software as a Service (SaaS) provides complete applications, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) delivers virtualized hardware, Platform as a Service (PaaS) supports development environments, and Desktop as a Service (DaaS) delivers virtual desktops. The exam highlights these models because they determine responsibility between provider and customer.
Practical examples include SaaS applications like email services, IaaS for hosting virtual machines, PaaS for developing web applications without managing servers, and DaaS for enabling secure remote workforces. Troubleshooting considerations include ensuring connectivity to SaaS platforms, monitoring resource usage in IaaS, or resolving compatibility issues in PaaS. Understanding service models allows you to answer exam questions and advise organizations on selecting the right model for their needs.
