Difference between IaaS, PaaS,SaaS and On-Premises

Difference between IaaS, PaaS,SaaS and On-Premises Infrastructure as a service ( IaaS ) is an instant computing infrastructure, provisioned and managed over the internet. for example Virtual Machine(VM). The consumer has full control over the VM and has to maintain Patching, Software Updates, Security, etc. Platform as a service ( PaaS ) is a complete development and deployment environment in the cloud, with resources that enable you to deliver everything from simple cloud-based apps to sophisticated, cloud-enabled enterprise applications. You purchase the resources you need from a  cloud service provider (Azure, AWS, Google, etc..)  on a pay-as-you-go basis and access them over a secure Internet connection. Software as a service ( SaaS ) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet. Common examples are email, calendaring, and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365).
