Cloud Computing Explained: IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS

Cloud Computing Explained: IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS ☁️

You use the cloud every day, from Gmail to Netflix to Instagram, but what's actually happening behind the scenes? In this session, we'll break down the three main cloud service models and when to use each one.

What you'll learn:

• What cloud computing is and why companies are moving to it
• IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): renting servers and managing them yourself, like Amazon EC2
• PaaS (Platform as a Service): just bring your code and the platform handles the rest, like AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• SaaS (Software as a Service): ready-to-use apps you simply log in to, like Gmail or Zoom
• How to choose the right model, with simple real-world examples

Who should attend:

Anyone curious about cloud computing. No prior experience needed, so it's perfect for beginners!
