What service model applies to a cloud hard drive on the Huawei public cloud?

The service model that applies to a cloud hard drive on the Huawei public cloud is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). This model provides virtualized computing resources over the internet, allowing users to access and manage infrastructure components such as virtual machines, storage, and networks.

In the context of a cloud hard drive, it represents an instance of storage that users can provision and manage. Users are responsible for the management of the operating systems, applications, and data stored on the cloud hard drive, which aligns with the characteristics of IaaS. This model gives users greater control and flexibility to customize their storage solutions based on their specific needs.

Other service models involve different responsibilities and levels of abstraction. For instance, Platform as a Service (PaaS) focuses on providing a platform for developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without dealing with the underlying infrastructure. Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers fully functional applications over the internet, managed by the service provider, while Desktop as a Service (DaaS) refers specifically to virtual desktops being delivered to users. However, these options do not apply to the scenario of a cloud hard drive, which emphasizes infrastructure rather than platform or software layers.
