🧱IT: Infrastructure-as-a-Service [IssS] (Definitions)

"The capability provided to the customer regarding provision processing, storage, networks, and other fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, and deployed applications and possibly limited control of select networking components (e.g., host firewalls)." (James R Kalyvas & Michael R Overly, "Big Data: A Businessand Legal Guide", 2015)

"Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a cloud computing infrastructure that provides compute, network, and storage resources over the internet, via a subscription model that can scale." (Atlassian) [source]

"Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a cloud computing service model in which computing resources are hosted in a public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud." (Oracle) [source]

"Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a form of cloud computing that delivers on-demand IT infrastructure resources such as servers, virtual machines (VMs), compute, network and storage to consumers over the internet and on a pay-as-you-go basis." (BM) [source]

"Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a standardized, highly automated offering in which computing resources owned by a service provider, complemented by storage and networking capabilities, are offered to customers on demand. Resources are scalable and elastic in near real time and metered by use. Self-service interfaces, including an API and a graphical user interface (GUI), are exposed directly to customers. Resources may be single-tenant or multitenant, and are hosted by the service provider or on-premises in a customer’s data center." (Gartner) [source]

"Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a type of cloud computing service that offers essential compute, storage, and networking resources on demand, on a pay-as-you-go basis." (Microsoft) [source]

"Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), also known as cloud infrastructure services, is a form of cloud computing in which IT infrastructure is provided to end users through the internet. IaaS is commonly associated with serverless computing." (Red Hat) [source]
