Types of Cloud Computing:

IaaS (Infrastructure as a service): This is a pay-as-you-use model that facilitates customers with virtual server utility as well as Application Program Interfaces (API). This gives a full eligibility to customers to start, stop, and access and configure data as and when required. This model allows businesses to pay according to the usage.
Example: Amazon

Clients can however use the APIs, the web portals or the gateway installed in the customer system. Example: Force.com
