A company wants to use a serverless compute service for an application. Which AWS service will meet this requirement?

AAWS Lambda

BAWS Cloud Formation

CAWS Elastic Beanstalk

DElastic Load Balancing

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

AWS Lambdais a serverless compute service that allows users to run code in response to events without provisioning or managing servers. It automatically scales the application by running code only when needed, and users are charged only for the compute time consumed. This service is ideal for applications that require event-driven compute functions.

B . AWS CloudFormation: Incorrect, as it is an infrastructure-as-code service that helps users automate the deployment of AWS resources, not a serverless compute service.

C . AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Incorrect, as it is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that still involves managing servers, even though it abstracts much of the infrastructure management.

D . Elastic Load Balancing: Incorrect, as it is a service for distributing incoming application or network traffic across multiple targets, not a serverless compute service.

I thought Cloud Formation was for infrastructure as code?

Elastic Beanstalk sounds familiar, but I think it still requires some server management, unlike Lambda.

I feel like Cloud Formation is more about infrastructure as code, not really serverless. But I could be wrong.

I remember practicing a question about serverless architectures, and Lambda was definitely mentioned as the go-to service.

I'm a bit confused. Could AWS Cloud Formation also be a valid answer since it allows you to provision and manage AWS resources? I'll have to double-check the details.

Elastic Load Balancing? Really? That's for distributing traffic, not running your actual code. Lambda is the answer, no doubt about it.
