A platform has the capability of developing and deploying solutions through the cloud. These solutions may be developed with available tools, they may be acquired solutions that are delivered through the cloud, or they may be solutions that are acquired and customized prior to delivery. The user of a platform service may modify the solutions they deploy, particularly the ones they develop and customize. However, the user has no capability to modify the underlying infrastructure.

What the user gets in a platform service are tools that are specifically tailored to the cloud environment. In addition, the user can experiment with a variety of platform tools, methods, and approaches to determine what is best for a particular organization or development environment without the expense of acquiring all those tool and the underlying infrastructure costs. It provides a development sandbox at a lower cost than doing it all in house.
