Answer to Question 1

In the software as a service (SaaS) model, the customer uses an application provided via a cloud infrastructure. The consumer cares only about the application, with no knowledge or control over the underlying infrastructure and has only limited ability to control or configure application-specific settings. The customer does not have to worry about maintaining or updating the software, the underlying platform, or the hardware infrastructure.

In the platform as a service (PaaS) model, the customer can run his or her own applications that are designed using tools provided by the service provider. In this model, the user has control over the applications but has limited or no control over the underlying infrastructure. As the underlying computing platform is provided, the customer does not have to worry about purchasing software licenses, such as operating systems for Web servers or database management systems, and the service provider manages the functioning and updating of the platform provided.
