What is managed service?
Managed service: A cloud offering where the provider handles installation, patching, scaling and backups of the underlying software, and the customer only uses it. It trades some control and higher unit prices for far less operational work.
Managed service: an example
Using a managed database means the provider handles updates and backups instead of the team's own engineers.
