Gmail is an example of which cloud service model?

IaaS PaaS DaaS SaaS

Correct Answer:

SaaS

Explanation:

Cloud service models define who manages the software you use versus the underlying infrastructure and platform. Gmail is a Software as a Service: you access a complete email application over the internet, typically through a browser or app, while Google handles all the hosting, maintenance, and updates. You don’t install or manage the software or the servers yourself, which is what distinguishes SaaS from the other models. In contrast, IaaS would give you virtualized hardware and storage to manage, and PaaS would provide a platform to build and deploy your own apps, while DaaS (Desktop or Data as a Service) isn’t a fit for a ready-made email app like Gmail. Therefore, the best fit is SaaS.
