Q6

Why is Amazon EC2 considered IaaS?

💬Answer

EC2 is considered IaaS because AWS handles physical servers, virtualization hypervisors, power, and networking, but grants you full root access to the virtual machine. You are responsible for selecting, configuring, securing, and patching the operating system (OS), runtime, database, and application stack.
