Cloud Service Categories
ОглавлениеThere are three primary cloud service categories: SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. In addition, other service categories are sometimes suggested, such as storage as a service (STaaS), database as a service (DBaaS), and even everything as a service (XaaS). However, these can be described in terms of the three basic types and have not caught on in common usage. They are most often used in marketing.
Security of systems and data is a shared responsibility between the customer and service provider. The point at which responsibilities of the service provider end and the responsibilities of the customer begin depends on the service category.
When talking about SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS solutions, we must know which service model is being discussed. Each is discussed in some detail next. Which model you are referring to is in part determined by where in the process you are.
If you are an end user, you are likely using a SaaS solution. If you are a developer, you may be offering a SaaS solution you developed in-house or through the use of a PaaS development environment. It is possible that the cloud service you provide is a development environment, so you offer a PaaS service you built on an IaaS service. Some customers work at all three levels. They use an IaaS service to build a development environment to create a SaaS solution. In each case, the security responsibilities are shared, as described elsewhere, by the customer and the CSP. However, that shared responsibility can become rather complex if the customer uses multiple services at differing service levels.
