IaaS - Infrastructure-as-a-Service
The cloud provider is responsible for
- maintaining the hardware
- network connectivity (to the internet), and
- physical security.
The client is responsible for:
- operating system installation
- configuration
- maintenance
- network configuration
- database and storage configuration
In the [[shared-responsibility-model]], IaaS places the largest share of responsibility with the client.

Azure Availability Zones
Eg: [[azure-virtual-machines]], IP Addresses. **Typically supported by [[iaas]]**.
Shared Responsibility Model
- [[iaas]] places most of the responsibility on the consumer; the cloud vendor is only responsible for physical security and connectivity;
Azure Virtual Machines
VMs provide [[iaas]] in the form of a **virtualized server**. You don't have to handle physical hardware, but you still need to configure, update, and maintain the software that runs on the VM.
Azure DevTest Labs
Azure DevTest Labs is a tool to create and manage [[iaas]] (like [[azure-virtual-machines]]) and [[paas]] (like [[azure-app-service]]) instances for dev and test environments.
