IaaS
Infrastructure as a Service
Definition
IaaS provides virtualized computing resources — virtual machines, storage, and networking — over the internet, with the cloud provider managing the physical hardware. AWS EC2, Azure VMs, and GCP Compute Engine are IaaS offerings.
IaaS gives maximum control but requires managing OS patching, runtime configuration, and scaling logic. Most organizations use a mix of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services.
