    Cloud computing research explores cloud service providers, platform as a service (PaaS), and their benefits and disadvantages. A cloud service provider is a third party that provides scalable computing services over the internet, allowing businesses flexibility without managing their own infrastructure. PaaS is a cloud model where third parties provide development tools over the internet. Key benefits of PaaS include access from anywhere via web browser and pay-as-you-go costs that eliminate expenses of owning hardware and software. However, outages at the third party provider can result in costly downtime for customers.

    1) What is Cloud Service Provides?


    A CSP or more commonly known cloud service provider, is a third-party company that provides
    scalable computing services that businesses can access on demand over a stable internet
    connection. As technology becomes more used in the business world it offers flexibility and
    security to demand that the business requires without worrying about the physical limitations of
    the on-premises servers or investing a lot of resources into building out and maintaining an in-
    house data center.
    2) What is Platform as a Service (PaaS)?
    One of the main cloud service providers is Platform as a service which is a cloud computing
    model where a third party provides hardware and software tools to users over the internet. For
    example, Facebook is an example of PaaS by developers creating applications such as
    Messenger, or the most popular application Facebook Marketplace.
    3) What are two benefits of PaaS?
    PaaS benefits is that users can access anywhere through a web browser the ability to pay on a
    recurring subscription(s) which eliminates the expenses of the on-premises hardware and
    software. Another benefit of having Paas can enable development teams to collaborate as a team,
    regardless of their physical location.
    4) What is one disadvantage of PaaS?
    One of the main disadvantages of having PaaS is that if for some circumstances the third party
    that is providing the services experiences a service outage it can affect the customers in resulting
    a costly lapse of productivity.
