What are the three main cloud service models?

The three main cloud service models are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS refers to the provision of virtualized computing resources over the internet, such as servers, storage, and networking capabilities, allowing users to build and manage their own applications. PaaS goes further and provides a complete development and deployment environment, offering tools and services to build, test, and deliver applications without the need for infrastructure management. On the other hand, SaaS delivers software applications over the internet, enabling users to access and use them directly from a web browser without worrying about software installation or maintenance. These three cloud service models offer different levels of control, flexibility, and management, allowing organizations to choose the one that best suits their needs and requirements.
