Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
Provides to the consumer the ability to deploy applications
through a programming language or tools supported by the cloud
platform provider. An example of Platform-as-a-Service is an
Eclipse/Java programming platform provided with no downloads
required.
Provides to the consumer an operating system and, often, a
language runtime and libraries (collectively, the "platform")
upon which they can run their own application code, without
providing any control over the underlying infrastructure.
Examples of Platform-as-a-Service providers include Cloud Foundry
and OpenShift.
