IaaS Defined

InstaCompute falls under the IaaS service delivery model. Iaas is infrastructure delivered as a service, instead of managed in-house. Users provision processing capacity, storage, networking and other fundamental computing resources and access them over the Internet or a Virtual Private Network instead of using equipment based in their premises. The IaaS service provider owns the equipment and is responsible for housing, running and maintaining it. Users typically pay for IaaS on a per-use basis. support NIST
