IaaS providers provide VM instances storage, storage, as well as interfaces for application programming that allow customers to migrate and host their production workloads on the cloud. IaaS is typically see post provided as a pay-as -you-go subscription to cut down on the initial cost, and also to allow IT to scale up capacity as needed.
