You don't worry about how the service is maintained and it just works and remains available. So you might not be aware of this but you probably already are using a SAS product. Examples: Salesforce, Gmail, office 365. So those are things that would be considered SAS and these are really for customers so it's just you want to use software like general software on your computer but in the cloud. 2. PaaS – Platform as a Service Platform as a Service abbreviated as PaaS and this is focus on the development and management of your applications.
