Cloud Computing Service Models

Ever wondered how Netflix streams seamlessly, startups scale overnight, or why companies no longer panic about servers crashing?

The answer lies in Cloud Computing — a technology that quietly powers most of the digital experiences we rely on every day.

But cloud computing isn’t a single service. It comes in different service models, each designed to solve a specific business or technical problem.

Whether you are a student, developer, DevOps engineer, or someone curious about modern IT infrastructure, understanding cloud service models is a must. In this blog, we’ll break down the three core cloud computing service models—in a simple, real-world way—so you can clearly understand what to use, when, and why.

Three core cloud computing service models:

  1. IAAS ( Infrastructure as a Service)

  2. SAAS ( Software as a Service)

  3. PAAS ( Platform as a Service)

💡As cloud adoption continues to grow, mastering these fundamentals is the first step toward a strong career in cloud and DevOps.
💡 If you’re starting your cloud journey, begin by identifying which service model aligns with your goals—and build from there.

🚀 In the next blog, we’ll explore real-world examples and use cases of each cloud service model.
