Cloud Computing Stack Explained
FAQs
A cloud computing stack is a cloud architecture built in layers of one or more cloud-managed services (SaaS, Paas, IaaS, etc.).
Cloud computing stacks are used for all sorts of applications and systems. They are especially good in microservices and scalable applications, as each tier is dynamically scaling and replaceable.
Most of today's applications, especially web and mobile internet applications, are deployed and run on cloud computing services. Please read the following article on cloud architectures for more information.
The three common types are:
- Software as a Service
- Platform as a Service
- Infrastructure as a Service
The layers of the cloud computing stacks are usually formed in lower to higher levels of services abstraction, starting with Infrastructure as a Service, then Platform as a Service, and finally Software as a Service at the top.
