According to Cisco’s Global Cloud Index, 59 percent of all cloud workflows were delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS) by 2019. But infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) dropped to 28 percent from 44 percent in 2013, and that platform-as-a-service (PaaS) was only 13 percent for workloads delivered.
I’m not sure I’m seeing any diminished interest in IaaS, but the growth of SaaS seems to align with my experience. Why? Because it’s better, cheaper, and less of a hassle.
