Below are the 3 cloud supporting services cloud providers provide to customer: -> SaaS (Software as a Service): SaaS uses the web to deliver applications that are managed by a third-party vendor and whose interface is accessed on the clients' side.

Most SaaS applications can be run directly from a web browser without any downloads or installations required, although some require plugins.

-> PaaS (Platform as a Service): are used for applications, and other development, while providing cloud components to software.

What developers gain with PaaS is a framework they can build upon to develop or customize applications.

PaaS makes the development, testing, and deployment of applications quick, simple, and cost-effective.

With this technology, enterprise operations, or a third-party provider, can manage OSes, virtualization, servers, storage, networking, and the PaaS software itself.

Developers, however, manage the applications.

-> IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): self-service models for accessing, monitoring, and managing remote datacenter infrastructures, such as compute (virtualized or bare metal), storage, networking, and networking services (e.g.

firewalls)

Instead of having to purchase hardware outright, users can purchase IaaS based on consumption, similar to electricity or other utility billing.

In general, IaaS provides hardware so that an organization can install their own operating system.

The cloud service that allows the organization to install its own operating system on a virtual machine is Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).

IaaS is a cloud computing model in which a provider offers virtualized computing resources over the internet, including servers, storage, and networking infrastructure. This allows users to deploy and run their own applications and operating systems on a virtual machine that is hosted on the provider's infrastructure.

In IaaS, the provider is responsible for managing the underlying physical infrastructure, such as the data center, servers, and storage, while the user is responsible for managing the virtualized infrastructure, including the operating system, applications, and data.

This makes IaaS ideal for organizations that require a high degree of control over their infrastructure and want the flexibility to install and configure their own operating system and applications.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides a platform for developing and deploying applications without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure. PaaS provides a pre-configured environment for application development, which can include a database, middleware, and other development tools.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides access to software applications over the internet. In this model, the provider hosts the software and makes it available to users over the internet.

Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides network services, such as virtual private networks ( VPNs), bandwidth on demand, and network security, over the internet.

In summary, the cloud service that allows the organization to install its own operating system on a virtual machine is Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).
