IaaS
(Infrastructure as a Service)
Renting computing power, storage and networking while managing the software yourself
What's it for?
Lets organisations rent basic computing, storage and networking instead of owning the physical equipment.
For example…
The company rents virtual servers and installs its own software on them
A company rents virtual machines and networks from a cloud provider through IaaS while still managing the operating system and application itself
Think of it like…
Renting an empty workshop with power and shelves—you bring the tools and fit it out
