Infrastructure as a Service, или IaaS, — модель облачных вычислений, в которой вычислительная инфраструктура, такая как серверы, хранилище, сети и виртуализация, предоставляется как сервис по требованию. Она позволяет организациям масштабировать технические ресурсы без владения всей физической аппаратной инфраструктурой и управления ею.
‘The capability provided to the consumer is to 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).’ NIST definition.
