Cloud computing is an ideal solution for institutions, including higher education institutions, due to the advantages and services they provide, and improvement in performance. And the implementation of a public, private or hybrid cloud, where the cloud is created from the institution’s resources. This paper aims to comprehensively survey all studies that include infrastructure as a service in educational institutions and higher education in order to discuss the tools used and know the results. Studies were collected from sources reliable as Google Scholar, IEEEXplore, Springer and others, and excluding studies that do not guarantee infrastructure as a service until 12 studies related to the subject of study were reached in the period from2010 to 2019 and discussed, the results indicate a deficiency in actual experiments in adopting infrastructure as a service in higher education institutions.

In a digital arena, information technology services provision is shifting to a cloud computing ecosystem. Cloud computing is an enabler for digital transformation with cloud computing service providers central to the digital transformation of both companies and higher education. As cloud computing service providers play the role of an ‘architect' for companies as supply chain is digitised and in supporting higher education institutions striving to deliver user-focused services in the face of increasing competition, an understanding of successful characteristics of cloud computing service provider business models is of main interest for providers and may also be of value for companies and higher education institutions when selecting cloud computing service providers. Despite the importance of cloud computing service providers' business models, information systems literature has provided limited analysis on the characteristics of successful business models. As such, the chapter aims to contribute to the emerging research on characteristics of successful business models.
