IaaS

Infrastructure as a Service — managed virtualized compute, storage, and network; customer manages OS up.

IaaS provides virtualized compute, storage, and networking; the provider secures the physical and virtualization layers while the customer owns everything from the guest OS up — patching, security groups, IAM, and application security. Examples include EC2, Azure VMs, and Google Compute Engine.
