Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) is a cloud computing service from a cloud service provider where you receive access to compute, storage, and networking resources on-demand and are charged for what you use. Additional services include billing management, logging, monitoring, storage resiliency, and security. In this model, the IaaS provider maintains the physical infrastructure, so you can concentrate on the development of your core business software. Businesses use the IaaS to migrate some or all of their use of on-premises or collocated data center infrastructure to the public, private, or hybrid clouds to become more agile, and innovate faster.
