AWS services categories

Question

Hi there All,

I'm a beginner exploring new things about AWS each and everyday. So I just wanted to know about which services fall under which service categories (Iaas, Paas, Saas, Daas etc)

As far as what I've found is as below -

IaaS - Ec2, CloudFormation
Paas - Beanstalk

I could be wrong so any help from you guys would be really helpful for me!! Thanks much in advance

Hello.

We could not find a document that categorizes and describes all services.  
I think the following documents will be helpful.  
https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/iaas/?nc1=h_ls  
> IaaS  
> You provision virtual cloud servers on Amazon EC2 with operating systems pre-installed on them. You have to install the application code and related software on the virtual machine.
> 
> PaaS  
> You use AWS Lambda to run application code without provisioning or managing infrastructure. For instance, you can simply write and upload the application code as a .zip file.
> 
> SaaS  
> You use Amazon WorkMail as a secure, fully managed business email and calendar service. You don't have to write your own application code or even worry about provisioning cloud servers and cloud storage infrastructure. Your team can directly create accounts in WorkMail and start sending and receiving email.

Hi,

Please, have a look at this detailled analysis of AWS from a IaaS, Paas, etc. perspective:

https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/1629777/A%20Comprehensive%20Guide%20on%20AWS%20as%20SaaS_IaaS_and_PaaS.pdf

It seems to be what you are looking for to classify the various services.

Best,
