So, What's This PaaS Thing Then?

• Platform as a Service, aka a Cloud Application Platform
• May include web servers, programming language runtimes, databases, dev tools, etc.
• Takes care of pretty well everything but your code

Other Cloud Bits and Bobs

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), such as servers, VMs, storage, load balancers, etc.
• Software as a Service (SaaS), such as web-based email clients, CRM systems, games, etc.

How PaaS Can Make You Happy

• Speed of deployment
