9 Platform-as-a-Service Defined

• A complete application platform for multitenant cloud environments that

includes development tools, runtime, and administration and management

tools and services. PaaS combines an application platform with managed

cloud infrastructure services.

• Usually depicted in all-cloud diagrams between the SaaS layer above it and

the IaaS layer below, is a broad collection of application infrastructure

(middleware) services (including application platform, integration, business

process management and database services). However, the hype surrounding

the PaaS concept is focused mainly on application PaaS (aPaaS) as the

representative of the whole category

.
