- Allows renting network capacity, hardware, operating systems, and storage over the Internet.
- Supports running existing applications or developing and testing new ones on virtualized servers.
Evolution from Software as a Service (SaaS):
- PaaS builds on SaaS, offering hosted infrastructure for software development and deployment.
Key Advantages for Developers:
- Frequent Upgrades: Allows for frequent updates to operating system features.
- Collaborative Development: Enables distributed development teams to collaborate effectively.
- Global Accessibility: Services are accessible internationally, supporting diverse teams.
Cost-Efficient Infrastructure:
- Reduces initial and ongoing costs by centralizing infrastructure through a single vendor.
- Avoids the expense and complexity of maintaining multiple hardware facilities.
Simplified Deployment:
- Facilitates application deployment without needing to manage underlying hardware, software, or hosting capabilities.
- Minimizes overall expenses by unifying programming development efforts across projects.
