Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service is a computing infrastructure that provides high level APIs, managed over a network.
IaaS helps you to cut down the expense and complexity involved in buying and managing your own different server.
In an IaaS model, a cloud provider has the foundational parts present in an on-premises network, servers, storage
and systems administration equipment, and also the virtualization or hypervisor layer. IaaS model provides access
to computing resource in a virtualized environment, where clients are given access to build their own IT platforms.
It is cost saving as you pay only for the computing resources that you have used.
