– Provides access to hosted applications or services– Trades off flexibility in favour of ease of use for

users with less middleware experience– Usage based charging, per hour or per ‘transaction’

– Application Centric view. Equivalent to operating system for Cloud.– Application deployed into this environment hosted in the cloud– Simplifies application dependency & provisioning– Often charged by licensed capacity or by usage

– Equivalent to logical hardware layer.– Access to compute, storage, network resources– Charging generally by (virtual) machine capacity– Total flexibility: can build and deploy VM to run any app
