Episode 56: Cloud Service Models — Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service

from Certified - The CompTIA A+ Audio Course Hosted by Dr. Jason Edwards

Cloud service models describe what level of control and responsibility a customer has in a cloud environment, and this episode explains the big three: Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Infrastructure as a Service. We begin with SAAS, which provides end-user applications like email, word processing, or storage without requiring any backend management. Next, we cover PAAS, which gives developers tools and environments to build and deploy applications. Lastly, we explain IAAS, which offers virtual machines, storage, and network resources that users manage entirely on their own. Understanding these models is essential for the exam and also helps you better frame cloud-based solutions in real-world IT support roles. With easy-to-remember comparisons and use cases, this episode locks in your understanding of cloud responsibilities. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
