    IaaS is the most flexible category of cloud services. It aims to give you complete control over the hardware that runs your application (IT infrastructure servers and virtual machines (VMs), storage, networks, and operating systems).

    Common mistakes

    Confusing IaaS with PaaS. Remember: IaaS = Infrastructure control.
