Summary

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) are three popular cloud computing delivery models that offer varying levels of abstraction for users. IaaS allows users to have complete control over their infrastructure without maintaining physical hardware, while PaaS provides a fully managed solution for developers looking to launch applications quickly. SaaS offers the most layers of abstraction and provides access to software but not its production, maintenance, or modification. Each model has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on the developer's needs.
