A start-up wants to spin up virtual machines, attach cloud storage, and configure its own operating system, middleware, and databases, but it does not want to purchase or maintain physical servers. Which cloud computing model best meets these needs?
Infrastructure as a Service delivers raw compute, storage, and network resources on demand. Because the provider manages only the physical hardware and virtualization layer, customers remain responsible for operating systems, runtime components, and data-exactly the level of control the scenario requires. Platform as a Service would hide the operating system and runtime, while Software as a Service would deliver a finished application with no administrative control, so neither fits the stated requirements. "Anything as a Service" is a broad marketing term rather than a specific cloud model.
