What is Compute as a Service (CaaS)?
Compute as a service (CaaS) is when computing resources are supplied on demand via virtual or physical resources as a service. It is usually priced by way of a consumption-based model.
CaaS first emerged in 2006 and was the original cloud offering when Amazon EC2 first launched.
