Further, he discussed about the following models available for cloud computing service:

1. Software as a Service (SaaS): A pre-made application, along with any required software, operating system, hardware, and      network are provided with this model

2. Platform as a Service (PaaS): An operating system, hardware, and network are provided, and the customer installs or      develops its own software and applications

3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): It provides just the hardware and network; the customer installs or develops its own      operating systems, software and applications.

The seminar was informative for all participants. The hands on seminar were based on example based models which helped us understand the concepts and relate them accordingly.
