Infrastructure as a Service

Glossary page

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) refers to a cloud computing model in which a user can access typical services provided by a data center, such as IT infrastructure, while mostly managing their own computing instances, which are virtual servers. The user is not required to operate their own servers, storage, network components, and other hardware, and is billed based on usage. However, the user is responsible for selecting, installing, operating, and ensuring the proper functioning of their own software. The key advantage of IaaS compared to owning a data center is the high scalability of computing instances, which can be easily expanded or reduced based on demand.
