1.IAAS – Infrastructure as as Service.
It is the basic building block of cloud IT. Generally provides access to data storage space, networking features, and computer hardware(virtual or dedicated hardware)
Eg services : VPC ,EBS, EC2

2.PAAS – Platform as a Service.
AWS manages the underlying infrastructure (usually operating system and hardware). This helps the developer to be more efficient as they do not have to worry about undifferentiated heavy lifting required for running the applications such as capacity planning, software maintenance, resource procurement, patching, etc., and focus more on deployment and management of the applications. **Example: **RDS, RedShift, ElasticSearch

3.SASS – Software as a Service.
It is a complete product that usually runs on a browser. It primarily refers to end-user applications. It is run and managed by the service provider. The end-user only has to worry about the application of the software suitable to its needs.
*Example : * SAP, Gmail, Dropbox
