Competition in Cloud Computing

Competition in cloud computing is making the IaaS and PaaS to grow together. PaaS is almost by all the providers has a good free usage quota. This is a plus point for the developers to develop free softwares like WordPress Plugins without any investment. Definitely that cost is coming from sucking someone else’s wallet by the provider.
