Compute Canada clouds are IaaS

  • IaaS allows great flexibility
  • Requires more effort & knowledge than PaaS or SaaS clouds
    • Manual setup and configuration of VMs
    • VM maintenance (updates/log surveillance)
    • Migration between VM operating system major versions
  • Allows great flexibility:
    • Choice of Operating System
    • Choice of hardware configuration
  • Compute Canada would love to offer more than IaaS (PaaS or SaaS) but currently lack required personal & funding
