Which of the following best describes serverless computing?

Options

  • AA model of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs

Why each option

Serverless computing is a cloud execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages server provisioning, scaling, and infrastructure, allowing developers to focus solely on their code.

AA model of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs

This describes containers (e.g., Docker), which package code and dependencies, but still run on servers that require management.

BA model where a provider manages the back-end infrastructure management tasks, such asCorrect

Serverless computing is a model where the cloud provider fully manages the underlying servers and infrastructure, automatically provisioning and scaling resources as needed, so developers only deploy their code functions without managing servers.

CAn abstraction layer over computer hardware that allows the hardware elements of a single

This describes virtualization (e.g., hypervisors), which abstracts hardware but still requires server management.

DA solution comprised of sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting

This describes the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects devices and sensors.
