AWS, JavaScript, React - Deploy Web Apps on the Cloud - Platform as a Service (PaaS) Overview

The video tutorial explains the Platform as a Service (PaaS) model, highlighting that customers are responsible for application deployment and data management, while the cloud vendor provisions other components. Examples of PaaS services include AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Windows Azure, Heroku, and Google Apps Engine. PaaS is primarily used by developers for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness, allowing them to focus on app development without worrying about system administration tasks. The video also covers the benefits of PaaS, such as scalability and ease of use, and provides a definition by NIST, emphasizing consumer capabilities in deploying applications without managing the underlying infrastructure.

What does NIST define as the capability provided to the consumer in the PaaS model?

What control does the consumer have over the applications in the PaaS model?
