  **Fog As A Service**

  > *The OpenFog RA defines the required infrastructure to enable building Fog as a Service (FaaS) to address certain classes of business challenges. FaaS includes Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and many service constructs specific to fog. Infrastructure and architecture building blocks show how FaaS may be enabled. This topic is expanded upon in the reference architecture.*
