Platform as a Service

The following are the key points that describe PaaS:

• In PaaS offerings, the organization/enterprise need not worry about hardware and software infrastructure management for their in-house applications

• The biggest benefits of PaaS are for the development teams (local or remote), which can efficiently build, test, and deploy their applications on a common framework, wherein, the underlying hardware and software is managed by the PaaS service provider

• The PaaS service provider delivers the platform, and also provides different services around the platform

• The examples of PaaS providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS Elastic Beanstalk), Microsoft Azure (Azure Websites), Google App Engine, and Oracle (Big Data Cloud Service)
