manner, components can be easily and automatically updated. When PaaS is provided by a third-party organization, those changes occur automatically without the user having to deal with the details. When PaaS is implemented in a private cloud, the IT organization can automate the process of updating a self-service interface to provision the most current services to the IT organization. 

✓ Implementing standardization:  PaaS enables development professionals and IT operations professionals to use the same services on the same platform. This approach takes away much of the misunderstanding that happens when the two teams with different responsibilities aren’t in sync. 

✓ Having ease of service provisioning:  A PaaS provides easy provisioning of development services including build, test, and repository services to help eliminate bottlenecks associated with non-standard environments. This in turn improves efficiency, reduces errors, and ensures consistency in the management of the development life cycle. Additionally, PaaS provides ease of provisioning in runtime services that include application runtime containers for staging, and running and scaling applications.

PaaS has two fundamental parts: the platform and the service. The service is what can set the PaaS vendor apart from its competitors. The PaaS vendor continuously services and improves the software. As new updates and new configurations become available, the PaaS vendor can immediately push them to its customers. 

## Having the Correct Requirements for IaaS and PaaS 

In many instances, a blurring of the lines of IaaS and PaaS occurs. In fact, many vendors are already offering IaaS as part of a PaaS solution. That’s something to consider when you put together your infrastructure and development plans.
