Types of Cloud Computing:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

IaaS is the most basic type of cloud computing. With IaaS, a third-party provider hosts and maintains infrastructure, including hardware, software, servers, and storage, on behalf of its users. Users can access and use this infrastructure remotely via the internet. Examples of IaaS providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Compute Engine.

Platform as a Service (PaaS)

PaaS is a cloud computing platform that provides users with a platform to develop, run, and manage applications without the need for building and maintaining infrastructure. PaaS providers offer a range of services, including development tools, application hosting, and database management. Examples of PaaS providers include Heroku, Google App Engine, and Microsoft Azure.

Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS is a software distribution model where third-party providers host applications and make them available to users over the internet. Users can access and use these applications through a web browser or app, without the need for installation or maintenance. Examples of SaaS include Google Apps, Salesforce, and Dropbox.

Each type of cloud computing offers different advantages and disadvantages depending on the needs of the user. For example, IaaS provides more control and flexibility but requires more technical expertise, while SaaS requires less technical expertise but offers less control over the underlying infrastructure.
