CATCH: There is a catch however - SQL Servers or SQL Databases installed on “Azure VMs” (must be AZURE VM- not just plain and simple VMs) falls into the industry category Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and allows you to run SQL Server inside a fully managed virtual machine (VM) in Azure. Whenever an "Azure Virtual Machine" is included in any of this type of questions, the answer always is IaaS. If no "Azure VM is mentioned" than it is safe to say that we are talking about PaaS. This question however says that it is hosted "in the cloud" with no mention of "Azure VMs" = PaaS. Note previous similar questions and note the answers. It can be PaaS or IaaS depending on the absence or the presence of an "Azure VM". Note similar questions with different answers (depending on the Presence of an "Azure VM" or not: Q41, Q46, Q65 ,Q73
