Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides virtualized computing resources such as virtual servers, storage, and networking over the internet. Instead of investing in physical hardware, customers rent these resources from a cloud provider and use them as needed. Amazon EC2, offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a prime example of IaaS, allowing users to create and manage virtual servers (instances) in the cloud without having to purchase physical equipment.
EC2 operates by providing virtual computing resources through AWS's infrastructure, following a series of steps from creating an AWS account to launching an instance and installing applications. Its major features include flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency, making it an attractive option for businesses of all sizes.
