Services provided by Cloud Computing can be broadly divided as:

Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service

In Software as a Service, from Networking, Virtualization, OS to Application, everything is managed by the third-party i.e. Cloud Service Provides. You are provided with the whole package of software to just use it.

In Platform as a Service, Cloud Service Providers gives you a platform where you can develop your own applications. In this type of service, all the underlying networking, virtualization, OS are managed by the service providers and the Client manages the application. It is most widely used by programmers and application developers to have a platform for programming.

In Infrastructure as a Service, most of the part is managed by the client. Cloud service providers manage networking and virtualization. They just provide infrastructure to the client where the client can build according to their requirement. The leading company in providing Infrastructure as a Service is Amazon Web Services(AWS).
