The request seems to mix concepts slightly, as most cloud providers primarily offer infrastructure (IaaS), platforms (PaaS), or tools enabling SaaS rather than SaaS applications themselves. SaaS (Software as a Service) typically refers to end-user applications delivered over the internet. Cloud providers may host SaaS applications developed by third parties or their own SaaS solutions. Kubernetes and certain other technologies mentioned are not SaaS providers but technologies that can support or enable SaaS. With that clarification, here's an overview of how each listed provider or technology relates to SaaS offerings, assuming the focus is on how these services enable or host SaaS solutions.

This overview captures how various cloud and technology platforms provide the foundation for SaaS applications, either by offering direct SaaS solutions (like Oracle Cloud) or by providing the infrastructure and services necessary for businesses to develop and host their own SaaS applications.

Software as a service (SaaS ) is a cloud computing service model where the provider offers use of application software to a client and manages all needed physical and software resources. SaaS is usually accessed via a web application. Unlike other software delivery models, it separates "the possession and ownership of software from its use". SaaS use began around 2000, and by 2023 was the main form of software application deployment.
Unlike most self-hosted software products, only one version of the software exists and only one operating system and configuration is supported. SaaS products typically run on rented infrastructure as a service (IaaS) or platform as a service (PaaS) systems including hardware and sometimes operating systems and middleware, to accommodate rapid increases in usage while providing instant and continuous availability to customers. SaaS customers have the abstraction of limitless computing resources, while economy of scale drives down the cost. SaaS architectures are typically multi-tenant; usually they share resources between clients for efficiency, but sometimes they offer a siloed environment for an additional fee. Common SaaS revenue models include freemium, subscription, and usage-based fees. Unlike traditional software, it is rarely possible to buy a perpetual license for a certain version of the software.
There are no specific software development practices that distinguish SaaS from other application development, although there is often a focus on frequent testing and releases.
