Cloud computing is a fundamental technology in today\u2019s business environment, offering advantages such as scalability, cost-efficiency and flexibility. The project seeks to demystify each service model by highlighting its unique characteristics and ideal use cases. IaaS provides virtualised infrastructure, PaaS supplies development platforms, whereas SaaS delivers software applications as a service. The aim is to present a detailed analysis that helps readers identify which model best suits their needs, thereby optimising cloud adoption to achieve greater efficiency and innovation in business.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243;]Keywords[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;p&#8221; text_size=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;214152&#8243;]Cloud Computing, IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), SaaS (Software as a Service), Scalability, Cost Efficiency, On-demand Self-service, Elasticity, and Scaling[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243;]References[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;p&#8221; text_font=&#8221;font-213936&#8243; text_size=&#8221;&#8221; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-843833&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;941942&#8243;][1] Braga, A.
