When you’re new to the cloud, it’s crucial to know what you manage at each level. Here’s a quick guide (and a bonus comparison to traditional on-premises setups):
1️⃣ On-Premises (On-Prem):
You manage everything—from networking and storage to servers and applications. It’s the classic setup, not part of the cloud, but important for context.
💡 Full control, but also full responsibility!
2️⃣ IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service):
You manage applications, data, runtime, and middleware. The provider handles the heavy lifting like servers, storage, and networking.
🖥️ Example: AWS EC2
🎯 You control virtual machines and databases.
3️⃣ PaaS (Platform as a Service):
You focus only on applications and data, while the provider takes care of everything else—runtime, middleware, operating system, and infrastructure.
⚙️ Example: AWS Elastic Beanstalk
💼 Deploy and scale apps without worrying about servers or updates!
4️⃣ SaaS (Software as a Service):
Everything is handled for you! Just use the software.
📧 Example: Gmail, Office 365
✔️ No infrastructure, no updates—just use the tool!
✨ How to choose?
It all depends on your goals—more control 🛠️ or more simplicity 🎯? Knowing the differences will accelerate your cloud learning and decision-making.
