Summary

Renting computing resources (servers, storage, databases) from a provider instead of owning physical hardware — the default way backend systems are hosted today.

How to Learn This

  • 1Compare IaaS, PaaS and serverless as different levels of cloud abstraction.
  • 2Identify which category (IaaS/PaaS/serverless) a few services you know fall into.
  • 3Learn why 'the cloud' is really just someone else's data center, with a lot of automation on top.
