Self-hosted cloud computing platforms and orchestration tools provide infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) capabilities within your own data centers. These tools enable organizations to create cloud-like environments with self-service capabilities, resource isolation, and automated management.
