Why serverless matters in Azure - Quick Recap

Recall & Review

beginner

What is serverless computing?

Serverless computing means you write code without managing servers. The cloud provider runs and scales your code automatically.

beginner

How does serverless help save costs?

You only pay when your code runs, not for idle servers. This means you save money by not paying for unused resources.

beginner

Why is scaling easier with serverless?

Serverless automatically adjusts resources up or down based on demand, so your app works well even if many people use it at once.

beginner

What does 'no server management' mean in serverless?

You don’t have to set up, update, or fix servers. The cloud provider handles all server tasks behind the scenes.

Give an example of a serverless service in Azure.

Azure Functions is a serverless service where you run small pieces of code triggered by events without managing servers.

What is a key benefit of serverless computing?

A You manage all the servers yourself

B You pay only when your code runs

C You must manually scale resources

D You need to install software on servers

Serverless means you pay only when your code runs, saving costs compared to always running servers.

Which Azure service is an example of serverless?

A Azure Virtual Machines

B Azure SQL Database

C Azure Blob Storage

D Azure Functions

Azure Functions lets you run code without managing servers, making it a serverless service.

How does serverless handle scaling?

A It does not support scaling

B You must add more servers manually

C It automatically adjusts resources based on demand

D You need to restart servers to scale

Serverless automatically scales resources up or down depending on how many users or events occur.

What does 'no server management' mean in serverless?

A The cloud provider handles server setup and maintenance

B You need to monitor server health

C You must update server software

D You configure servers yourself

In serverless, the cloud provider manages all server tasks so you can focus on your code.

Why might serverless be good for unpredictable workloads?

A Because it automatically scales and you pay only for usage

B Because you pay for fixed server capacity

C Because you must reserve servers in advance

D Because it requires manual scaling

Serverless automatically scales with demand and charges only for actual use, ideal for unpredictable workloads.
