IaaS:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a type of cloud computing service that provides virtualized
computing resources over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis. It eliminates the need for
enterprises to procure, configure, or manage infrastructure themselves and enables end-users
to scale and shrink resources on an as-needed basis, reducing the need for high, up-front
capital expenditures or unnecessary "owned" infrastructure, especially in the case of "spiky"
workloads. IaaS is one of the four types of cloud services, along with software as a service
(SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and server less.

PaaS:
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides customers with a
complete cloud platform, including hardware, software, and infrastructure, for developing,
running, and managing applications without the cost, complexity, and inflexibility of building
and maintaining that platform on-premises. PaaS providers deliver hardware and software
tools to users over the internet, and they host the hardware and software on their own
infrastructure. Developers rent everything they need to build an application, relying on a cloud
provider for development tools, infrastructure, and operating systems. PaaS is one of the three
service models of cloud computing. Customers purchase the resources they need from a cloud
service provider on a pay-as-you-go basis and access them over a secure internet connection.

SaaS:
SaaS, or Software-as-a-Service, refers to cloud-hosted applications accessible over the
internet through web browsers, mobile apps, or thin clients. The provider manages software
operation, maintenance, and infrastructure, while customers only need to create an account,
pay a fee, and start using the service. The origins trace back to mainframe-based applications
in the 1950s, but modern SaaS emerged in 1999 with Salesforce's cloud-hosted CRM system.
Today, SaaS is the most common public cloud service, dominating software delivery. It
includes widely used tools like Slack and Dropbox, as well as core business applications
such as ERP and HR platforms. Compared to traditional on-premises software, SaaS offers
benefits like rapid implementation, minimal management overhead, and predictable costs,
appealing to businesses of all sizes.
