Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a cloud-based service that provides customers with virtualized hardware resources, such as servers, storage, and networking components. Customers have the freedom to install and run any operating system or software on the rented hardware. This is different from platform as a service (PaaS), which provides a platform for developers to build and deploy their own applications, and application virtualization, which allows applications to run on a virtualized environment without the need for installation on local devices. Network functions virtualisation (NFV) refers to the virtualization of network services, rather than hardware resources.
