Techopedia Explains Decoupled
Cloud computing architecture is often referred to as an example of decoupled architecture because the vendor and consumer independently operate and manage their resources. For example, with infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), the cloud provider is responsible for delivering the cloud or backend infrastructure but does not have any control over what applications the customer will install on top of it.
