IaaS stands for "Infrastructure as a Service". It is a cloud computing model in which a third-party provider hosts virtualized computing resources over the internet, allowing customers to access and use computing infrastructure as needed.
With IaaS, customers can rent and use servers, storage, networking, and other computing resources, typically paying for usage on a metered basis. This allows organizations to avoid the capital and operational expenses of building and maintaining their own data centers, while still having the flexibility and control to configure and manage their own virtualized infrastructure.
Examples of IaaS providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and IBM Cloud.
IaaS stands for Infrastructure as a Service, which is a type of cloud computing service that provides virtualized computing resources over the internet.
With IaaS, users can rent computing resources such as virtual machines, storage, and networking from a cloud provider on a pay-per-use basis. This allows organizations to easily and quickly scale their IT infrastructure without having to invest in and maintain their own physical hardware.
The cloud provider is responsible for managing the underlying hardware and infrastructure, while the user is responsible for configuring and managing the software and applications that run on the virtualized infrastructure. This gives users greater flexibility and control over their IT resources, as they can choose which operating systems, middleware, and applications they want to run on the virtual machines.
