DEFINITION
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a type of Cloud Service that allows you to easily scale up your computing resources (virtual machines, Storage, networking, etc.) as and when you need them. Instead of purchasing and managing physical hardware, you can rent infrastructure from your Cloud Provider. You will be in control of your operating Systems, applications and configurations. This gives a great level of flexibility and pay-as-you-go pricing. This makes it a great service to use for any workloads requiring variable resources.
Why is IaaS important?
- Scalability – Easily scale your computing resources.
- Cost-effective – You don’t have to invest in physical infrastructure.
- Fast Deployment – Quickly set up your computing environment.
- Flexibility – Support for various Operating Systems and Applications.
- Greater Control – Greater flexibility with configuring your infrastructure compared to many higher-level cloud services.
When to use IaaS?
- Development and Testing environments.
- AI Model Inference and Data Processing.
- Scaling Business Applications during peak seasonal times.
- Disaster Recovery and Backup.
