In this lightboard video, Tessa Rodes with IBM Cloud explains what Platform as a Service, or PaaS, is while also using multiple analogies to illustrate how PaaS can be a more cost efficient solution by enabling developers to focus on code and not the server and software configuration.

I liked the way you used the car to explain the difference between iaas, paas and saas! Please keep using more like that; simplicity is the key!

[@nicolasazoidis9064]

When you are able to explain your stuff to the mass, it means you know your stuff. By miles the best comparison explanation out there. Thank you.

[@IBMTechnology]

Thank you for the lovely feedback, Nicolas! 🙏

[@BenjaminSexton]

I'm writing a paper on cloud computing for an introductory course on informatics and these videos important cloud concepts from this channel are make a big difference in helping me understand in layman's terms what the course textbook explains using technical terminology. Super helpful, thanks!

[@monikacichocka805]

Sat here watching god knows how many of these videos, one after another- to prepare myself for my Exam(s). Very helpful!

Me too! Doing my A+ soon, fingers crossed.

[@chrisstroesser6563]

Are you writing in reverse!?

[@teacherrussell5206]

That was the best. I came here to understand Paas better, and now I understand Iaas AND Paas better. More from this teacher!

[@juniusbrodnax8437]

Oh my god! Thank you so much for breaking this down the way you did. For the life of me could not understand the difference between PaaS and IaaS for ever now this just summed it up in a way I can hopefully get some questions correct on my practice test for Comptia A +.

[@TheButterflyFairy]

I am a beginner at this and you really helped me understand the concept... short and sweet. Thank you !

[@dnaeye]

This is one of the first videos I've ever watched without skipping forward. Concise and practical!

[@abazaabdelmageid774]

the most brilliant and smart way to explain Saas, Paas, Iaas thanks a million.

[@tabsc3489]

Clear concise and definitely the best explanation I've had on PaaS and its relationship with IaaS and SaaS. The Car leasing/renting/taxi-ing metaphor was a huge help, thank you!!!

When s.o asks me about the Cloud I always use the car metaphor but I couldn't explain such well. You rock it! Thanks a lot very helpful content!

[@IBMTechnology]

Thank you so much for the awesome feedback, Dünyadan! 😃

[@kelvinnguyen6048]

Solid! I just realized all of you guys have been writing backwards this whole time. SO IMPRESSIVE!

Hi There, A complex technical stuff, you explained it so well with real world examples. Thanks for that. It really helped me understand PAAS so much more better. Good luck with your teachings.

[@chh8860]

Well done presentation ... very well done.

[@moeness86]

VERY nice. Please, consider re-arranging your playlist to include the more traditional topics near the top to be seen earlier rather than later (ex.: Baremetal > IaaS > PaaS > Saas > Faas). The way it is arranged now is inverted. But great videos all in all, thanks a lot.

[@IBMTechnology]

Hi there! Thank you for the suggestion! 👍

[@AvadaKedavra943]

She's so good. 5:00 Very truthful. I was expecting some PR crap read off a teleprompter verbatim by someone in the marketing department who doesn't really understand anything. Presently surprised, very fair and on point breakdown.

[@IBMTechnology]

Thank you, William!

[@melnyc3713]

Great explanation, thank you.

[@severtone263]

Very clear and articulate explanation

[@deanhenderson6736]

I am three quarters the way through my CompTIA A+ course (looking to change industry and eventually getting some sort of cyber security role)) and needed some extra material to bolster my understanding of cloud computing. I found your explanation on PaaS easy to understand and loved the car analogy! I guess if the computing hardware is on the premises, then that means you own the car? Thanks

[@florentmatzinger8506]

The computing hardware is on premises if you build your own private cloud. The computing hardware is in the cloud if you suscribe to an iaas offer.

[@monikacichocka805]

Good luck! I am doing the same course, currently taking my last exam(s).

[@ptit9x]

[@levittperez]

What technology are you using for the graphics? I really like it and find it engaging.

[@Just_Manny305]

Is there a SaaS case outside of the usual consumer case? Ie is there a scenario when a developer or company will pay for SaaS services to leverage the provided data, and apps to build on top of those apps?

[@akin242002]

Thank you! Very helpful and clear to understand.

[@abhishekdwivedi6617]

great explanation, how do you write backwards tho??

[@neil13ballack]

This is great. Thanks. I have a question - why is performance at scale an issue for PaaS ? I thought that scaling up / down would be one of the biggest advantages of cloud computing, and would be uniform across the different forms of cloud computing. Does the scaling functionality effectiveness differ across the various layers of cloud computing ?

[@ameradam4605]

OMG who can't like this video, an easy way to teach and nice accent too :)

[@kennyofatoboiyo7447]

what do you mean by app though? Do you mean your'e responsible for developing the applications that will be used on the Paas cloud model? You wouldn't say just be purchasing Third party apps to use on it? Are you also in charge of designing the cloud model?

[@amin-roots]

This video gives ASMR tingles 😄

The car example was genius!

[@bobobopan2354]

You're at the back of the glass, does it mean you write in mirror way? and how could your ink lighting?...I'm curious about that.

[@bobobopan2354]

Oh I see the comment below. Thanks

[@amansahota984]

Wait.. are you writing backwards the whole time or is there some post fx/whiteboard mechanism that allows you to write the normal way and for us to see it as such? I must know! Great Content!

[@robertwnorrisii9143]

Did you write that backwards from start to beginning?

[@IBMTechnology]

Hi Robert! We have a post that explains how we create these videos. ibm.co/335YQYY Hope this helps! - Tessa

The analogy to the car is probably the best example I have ever seen! Its so precise to the point that even non-technical people can understand these concepts very easily.

Astounding

[@kingofcampbell6413]

not fully explained but still overall good intro video from my perspective.

[@esargf]

[@nasrihaithem9529]

i hope i dont get r/wooshed but i gotta say it anyway she simply reverses the video before uploading

[@PabitraPadhy]

Concepts are solid, but very linear way of teaching. Intonation of voice plays a great role, when we try to teach something, that makes the audience relate the narrative easily.

Sometimes SaaS's have components that need to be installed on the desktop.

Is PyCharm an example of a PaaS?

[@IBMTechnology]

Hello! To answer your question, no, PyCharm is an IDE. To run the Python code that you develop in an IDE, you need a PaaS.

See ibm.biz/write-backwards

[@aeytube3967]

Left handed are the best!!

[@danielgx83]

i don't like the fact that she gives you a metaphor that isn't related to production environment , instead you get to see a pink car with a poor explanation on how you research before you rent it, really unrelated , she should instead speak about redirects and domains, also type of logins and sso for organization solutions . but again all i need to know is how to rent a car right...

No
