    Question

    Which of the following is the primary characteristic of

    serverless computing in cloud platforms? 
    A The user is responsible for managing the server infrastructure and scaling the service. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B It eliminates the need for server management by automatically provisioning and scaling resources. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C It requires users to install a hypervisor and configure virtual machines. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The user must provide the operating system and manage updates for the serverless environment. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E It is a type of containerization service that requires manual scaling of containers. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Serverless computing is a cloud service model where cloud providers automatically manage the infrastructure, including server provisioning, scaling, and maintenance. Users only need to focus on writing code and deploying it, while the cloud platform handles resource allocation and scaling based on demand. This approach eliminates the need for server management and infrastructure provisioning, making it a highly scalable and cost-effective solution for applications with variable workloads. Serverless computing is commonly used in Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) offerings, such as AWS Lambda. Option A (User manages server infrastructure): This is incorrect. In serverless computing, users do not manage the server infrastructure; it is handled by the cloud provider. Option C (Requires hypervisor and VM configuration): This is incorrect. Serverless computing abstracts away the need for users to manage virtual machines or hypervisors. Option D (User provides operating system and manages updates): This is incorrect. In serverless computing, the cloud provider handles operating systems and updates, allowing users to focus only on application logic. Option E (Requires manual scaling of containers): This is incorrect. Serverless computing automatically scales resources based on demand, which is different from container-based environments where users typically need to manage scaling.
