Which type of cloud service typically includes management tools for developers?

SaaS
PaaS
IaaS
FaaS

The correct answer is: PaaS

The option highlighting Platform as a Service (PaaS) is correct because PaaS is designed specifically to provide a framework for developers to create applications without needing to manage the underlying infrastructure. In a PaaS environment, developers are offered management tools that facilitate app development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. This enables them to focus on writing code and building applications rather than dealing with server management, storage, or networking. PaaS solutions often come with integrated development environments (IDEs), database management systems, application hosting, and other tools that support the software development lifecycle. By abstracting much of the system administration and infrastructure management, PaaS allows developers to work more efficiently and effectively. Other types of cloud services, such as Software as a Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), cater to different needs. SaaS provides fully managed software applications to end-users, negating any need for development tools, while IaaS offers raw computing resources and has a much greater focus on the infrastructure layer rather than on developer tools. Function as a Service (FaaS) focuses on running individual functions or pieces of code, which again does not typically include broad management tools designed for comprehensive application development.
