Cloud API

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article doesn't describe anything significant - it just summarized PaaS, SaaS, and IaaS, and says you can have APIs to them. It doesn't need an article. The existing "Cloud Computing" article is much better, and perhaps an extra sentence or two in that article could replace this entire article (essentially just saying, "APIs usually exist for *-as-a-service platforms".)

Retain Article I am learning about Amazon AWS and specifically googled this page title. It is a very helpful explanation on the topic and meets the standards of providing useful information for a newbie developer/business enterprise buyer. I would not easily find PaaS, SaaS, and IaaS - whatever they are - at my skill set level. This article is very readable and non-techy. It is a good starting place to explore the topic.Kyle Andrew Brown (talk) 20:23, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Original research that, as the nom points out, doesn't really offer any stand-alone information over the main article (cloud computing). As it's entirely unsourced, it's doubtful there's anything worth merging. Kolbasz (talk) 22:13, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
