• CThe application is installed on network equipment and not on physical servers.
• DThe application runs from a containerized environment that is managed by Kubernetes or Docker

Explanation

A serverless application is characterized by code running in ephemeral, event-triggered, stateless containers that are fully managed by a cloud provider, abstracting away server management from the developer.

Common mistakes.

• A. This describes a traditional load-balancing setup for server farms, not a serverless architecture where the underlying servers are abstracted away.
• C. Applications running on network equipment are typically network services or control plane functions, not what is commonly understood as a serverless application.
• D. While serverless functions can conceptually run in containers, the key distinction of serverless is that the management of these containers and the underlying infrastructure is handled entirely by the cloud provider, making it fully managed and abstracted.
