Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology defined three services models for cloud computing in 2011, namely IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. Since then, a decade has passed, and cloud delivery methodologies have evolved, and newer ways of delivering cloud services have emerged. As a result of these new methodologies, lines between traditional service models are constantly fading, and new subcategories are emerging with totally different approaches to tackle cloud service delivery. This paper introduces a layered cloud service model to replace the three-category approach suggested by the NIST (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) in 2011. Moreover, we also discuss the existing approaches prevalent in the industry and the need for a new approach. Furthermore, we have mapped the existing services in the industry are mapped on the proposed architecture.
