The DaaS is a web-based service that are shares the development
tools in a community. The DaaS is equivalent to all the tools of development
installed in many traditional delivery of the tools.
Data as a service (DaaS) –
The data-as-a-service is also a web-based design construction, in which
the data of cloud is used via some previously defined API layer. The services
of DaaS are considered as a service that has specialized subset of software
to offer service.
Platform as a service (PaaS) –
This is a cloud computing service that provides users with platforms of
application and database-as-a-service. The PaaS is a service same as
traditional cloud computing delivery of databases and applications.
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) –
This infrastructure basically takes physical hardware and then goes
virtual completely. Going virtual includes all the servers, storage,
