The Cloud Stack
The cloud stack consists of subcategories of cloud functionality. It’s described as a “stack” because it is a broad range of services built upon one another.
Defining IaaS
Delivers computer infrastructure and storage on demand, via the Internet
Rather than purchasing servers, software, data center space or network equipment, clients buy those resources as a fully outsourced service from a provider
What are the benefits?Scalability
