<p>Since we don't need to configure most of the Infrastructure services for Containers and Kubernetes, still we have ability to manage different Infrastructure services.
Does this make them Infrastructure as a Service or Platform as a Service?</p>

<p>kubernetes is considered PaaS when the control p<a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/concepts-clusters-workloads" rel="noreferrer">lane components</a>: the scheduler, the API server, ETCD (key-value metadata)and controller are managed by the provider
some examples are Microsoft  <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/kubernetes-service/" rel="noreferrer">AKS</a>, Google <a href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine" rel="noreferrer">GKE</a>, AWS <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/eks/?whats-new-cards.sort-by=item.additionalFields.postDateTime&amp;whats-new-cards.sort-order=desc&amp;eks-blogs.sort-by=item.additionalFields.createdDate&amp;eks-blogs.sort-order=desc" rel="noreferrer">EKS</a>.
It is considered IaaS if you built and maintain all the components</p>
