- Security is managed for you on the multiple layers
- Manages many services for you
- To get a full and comprehensive set of services all managed and set up, that can include the service itself, an authentication service, a Security module, A database, a cache system. Basically anything based on whatever you wish to provide as a service. That for example, if I wish to provide an online educational video platform that serves both paid and free videos to the public.
