Explanation

AWS Fargate and AWS Lambda are both serverless because they allow you to run workloads without provisioning, managing, or maintaining any underlying servers or infrastructure - AWS handles all of that for you automatically.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (AWS Outposts): Outposts brings AWS hardware physically into your on-premises data center, requiring actual servers you manage locally.
• B (Amazon EC2): EC2 provides virtual machines where you choose, configure, and manage the underlying instance type - the definition of server-based computing.
• C (Amazon EKS): EKS manages the Kubernetes control plane, but you still need to provision and manage worker nodes (EC2 instances) unless you pair it with Fargate.

Memory Tip: Think "F and L = Free from servers" - Fargate and Lambda. Lambda runs individual functions on demand, while Fargate runs containers - but neither requires you to touch a server. If an AWS service requires you to select an instance type or manage nodes, it is not serverless.
