Ok. I first thought, containers IaaS, because containers are similar to VM and because VM is IaaS, containers also have to be IaaS. Thanks for your answer
However, I would point out that your above statement is incorrect: a single VM is absolutely NOT IaaS. It's just a VM. IaaS would be a web-based service that lets you provision containers or VMs.
For example, Heroku could be thought of as IaaS. A single container that is running on Heroku is NOT IaaS. It's just a container.
The -aaS terminology is just a marketing buzzword. It refers to commercial, cloud-based services that are run by a company for their customers. In the vast majority of cases, those customers are other businesses.
