Use of jargon
[edit]Some parts of the article seem to use jargon-like phrasing. Take the introduction for example:
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) are online services that provide high-level APIs used to dereference various low-level details of underlying network infrastructure like physical computing resources, location, data partitioning, scaling, security, backup etc. A hypervisor, such as Xen, Oracle VirtualBox, Oracle VM, KVM, VMware ESX/ESXi, or Hyper-V runs the virtual machines as guests. Pools of hypervisors within the cloud operational system can support large numbers of virtual machines and the ability to scale services up and down according to customers' varying requirements.
The language used here is quite jargon-like, and may be suitable for a university publication, but definitely not for a common-use encyclopedia. In my eyes this would not qualify as a satisfactory definition; it will certainly confuse readers with a low level of technological literacy.
As of August 2021 this article is still rated Start-Class, despite its creation over 12 years ago. Even though the article itself is marked as "low importance", IaaS does stem from a high profile topic (see Cloud computing). At the very least, a passer-by should be able to reasonably comprehend the contents of this article. Lankyliverđ§ (talk / contribs) 12:55, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- I've made a mental note to see if I can help with this sometime next month. I am in the middle of a BSIT capstone course, so although I'm probably qualified, that also means I'm currently strapped for time. Someone please ping me if I haven't attempted this by July 12 (I should graduate July 5 if I don't blow this).--Macks2008 (talk) 02:19, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
