iaas-platforms

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'IAAS-platforms' or 'Infrastructure as a Service' platforms are like renting a construction site, but you build the house. You get things like physical servers, network, storage, firewall from a provider on a rental basis, and you handle the rest like running, maintaining, and updating the programs.

Examples in Different Contexts

In DevOps, IaaS platforms are crucial for automating infrastructure deployment. A DevOps engineer might note, 'Using IaaS platforms, we automate our infrastructure setup, significantly reducing deployment times.'

Practice Scenarios

Aerospace

Scenario:

We could increase our simulation runs if we had more computational resources. It's an area worthy of investigation.

Response:

Let's consider using an IAAS platform. It will provide the vast computational resources we need for more simulation runs.

Business

Scenario:

If we wish to increase the pace of our data analysis, we must consider upgrading our infrastructure. The ability to respond quickly is key.

Response:

Engaging an IAAS platform could address our fast-paced data analysis need by providing the necessary infrastructure flexibility.
