AnswerClick to flip back
A
Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS)
💡 Explanation:
AWS EC2, S3, RDS, and VPC provide foundational computing infrastructure - virtual machines, storage, networks - that you configure and manage. This is the definition of IaaS. SaaS (A) would be something like Gmail or Office 365 - ready-to-use applications. PaaS (B) would be Heroku or Google App Engine where you deploy code without managing servers. AWS offers some PaaS services (like Elastic Beanstalk) but AWS as a whole is IaaS.
