DevOps and Serverless Computing

Question 1

AWS Serverless Platform

Answer 1

Answer 2

Serverless computing is a cloud-computing model in which AWS runs the server and dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources for the end-user. Serverless enables you to build and run applications and services without thinking about servers. It eliminates infrastructure management tasks, such as server or cluster provisioning, patching, operating system maintenance, and capacity provisioning.

Question 3

Why Serverless?

Answer 3

Serverless enables you to build modern applications with increased agility and lower total cost of ownership. Building serverless applications means that your developers can focus on their core product. They don’t have to worry about managing and operating servers or runtimes, either in the cloud or on premises. This reduced overhead lets developers reclaim time and energy that can be spent on developing products that scale and are reliable. Another advantage, is the ability to bring your own code.
