5-Minute Breakdown: Software as a Service (SaaS)

Start learning cybersecurity with CBT Nuggets. courses.cbt.gg/security
In this video, Chuck Keith covers one of the three cloud service models: Software as a Service, commonly referred to as “SaaS.” He focuses primarily on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, walking you through cloud computing fundamentals with an eye on how to prepare for and pass the Azure AZ-900 exam.
Chuck begins by introducing Software as a Service (SaaS) as one side of the triangle that forms the cloud. The other two, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) are briefly discussed as he provides the context necessary for you to understand what SaaS brings to the picture.
IaaS focuses primarily on data centers, networks & firewalls, and servers & storage, while PaaS adds various developer tools and operating systems into the mix.
SaaS, however, is the broadest of the three, touching aspects of both IaaS and PaaS and adding the full library of hosted applications.
Wrapping your mind around how these three interact is critical to an accurate business and technological understanding of the cloud.

awesome vid bro thanks for the brief explanation. i feel smarter now :)

[@nsynch5483]

Thank you for this video. You explained SaaS in a simple way and cited good examples. I have a query though. Apologies in advance if this seems like a dumb question (I'm completely new to SaaS and cloud computing). So, here goes - What is the difference between a regular web application (for example, Expedia, TripAdvisor, etc.) and a SaaS solution? In other words, what's the dividing line post which a web application transforms into a SaaS solution? Thanks in advance!

[@zilicontech]

I love your breakdown boss. One love 💕

[@vindulaillankoon8920]

I subscribed, because of the unique visualization

[@CostaKy]

Nice video, really enjoyed it. Your equipment looks great, do you mind sharing what you are you using to digitally write on?

[@johnstewartmarketing]

This video makes me feel inadequate about the way I portray information in videos 😬😳😂. Genuinely really good job, very clearly presented! 🔥

[@davidobrien3669]

Why do companies put SaaS on job descriptions when it's just something super simple like Gmail?

[@crochetsherryl3627]

I agree!! I actually don't even know what companies mean when they post in a job description - its so broad.

[@TishaSmilez]

I'm here wondering the same thing 😂 some of these aren't even tech jobs

[@claudiawoods4382]

*Usually* the companies are looking for someone to administer accessing the various apps, ensuring that the users have the correct permissions to them (for email systems, for example, ensuring that mailbox aliases are set correctly), and so forth. Especially if a company is migrating to SaaS from another cloud or from on-premises environments, then there is the coordination of corporate network and Internet services updates as well. Using SaaS is typically really easy; administration - depending on the size and dynamics of an organization - can be rather involved. If the organization has its own SaaS-based application(s), then there may also be a need to interact with the application's API in some way. So companies do need to be more specific when they reference SaaS. HTH.

[@Goodliving22]

To scare you lol

[@William_Clinton_Muguai]

Good question Irishman. Many jobs applicants start getting scared by these terms, u know.

[@KayBeeGee]

The reason this video is so helpful and concise is entirely related to the power of the beard. Not debatable.

[@lauralemos3098]

it might be just a Stylus pen, that you can pair it using Bluetooth. They work fine with laptops that are "touch"

[@Juiceman777]

That headset is nice, is it noise cancellation on both ends? If so can you drop a link?
