Build, Deploy, and Manage Applications Without Worrying About the Underlying Infrastructure
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides a platform for developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. In a PaaS model, the cloud service provider typically manages the hardware, operating system, runtime environment, and networking components, while the developers focus on writing and deploying their applications.
PaaS offers a complete development and deployment environment, including tools, libraries, and frameworks, which makes it easier and faster for developers to create, test, and deploy applications. It eliminates the need for organisations to invest in and maintain their own infrastructure, as the cloud service provider takes care of the hardware and software stack.

Advantages
- Scalability and Elasticity – Azure PaaS automatically scales your applications and services based on demand. It can handle sudden spikes in traffic and adjust resources, accordingly, ensuring high performance and availability. You can also set autoscaling rules to optimise resource utilisation and cost efficiency.
- Simplified Deployment and Management – Azure PaaS abstracts away the underlying infrastructure, making it easier to deploy and manage applications. It provides built-in capabilities for version control and automated updates. This simplifies application management and reduces operational overhead.
- Cost-Effectiveness – Azure PaaS follows a pay-as-you-go pricing model, allowing you to pay only for the resources and services you use. It eliminates the need for upfront hardware investments and reduces maintenance costs. Additionally, Azure PaaS offers cost optimisation features like auto scaling and resource governance to optimise resource utilisation and minimise costs.
- Security and Compliance – Azure PaaS incorporates robust security measures to protect your applications and data. It provides features like network isolation, identity management, encryption, and threat detection. Azure is also compliant with various industry standards and regulations, making it easier for businesses to meet their security and compliance requirements.
- High Availability and Disaster Recovery – Azure PaaS offers built-in redundancy, failover, and disaster recovery features. It ensures high availability of your applications and data, minimising downtime and providing reliable service delivery. Azure PaaS also enables geo-replication and backup options to protect your data and applications from unforeseen events.
