IaaS

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a cloud computing service that provides customers with access to computing infrastructure (such as servers, storage, and networking) on a pay-per-use basis. IaaS enables customers to rent or lease infrastructure resources on an as-needed basis rather than purchase and maintain their in-house infrastructure.

With IaaS, customers can scale their infrastructure up or down as needed, depending on their changing needs and requirements. This can be more cost-effective than maintaining in-house infrastructure, as customers only pay for the resources they consume.

IaaS is a popular choice for organizations that want to outsource the management and maintenance of their infrastructure to a cloud service provider so that they can focus on their core business.
