Scenario:Jane is a developer deploying an application using a language supported by her cloud provider.

ISO/IEC 17788:2014 (Cloud Computing Overview and Vocabulary) defines:

Platform as a Service (PaaS):

“The capability provided to the consumer is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-created or acquired applications... The consumer does not manage or control the underlying infrastructure.”

Jane's requirements precisely match the PaaS model, where she controls the app and environment (runtime, storage) but not the infrastructure (servers, OS).
