Advanced architecture scenario: Serverless computing

- Much like other cloud technology trends, serverless computing is changing aspects of how we do cloud computing architecture. Serverless computing enables cloud architecture technology, or how we design, build, and deploy specific applications using serverless technology. So, larger, more strategic problems related to cloud computing architecture, such as infrastructure design, security, governance, and operations, still form part of the larger architecture. Serverless is simply focused on enabling technology about how we deploy and operate applications serverless. Serverless computing allows you to let the serverless computing cloud service allocate just the right amount of resources needed to run your application. Thus, we don't have to pick the resources that we think we'll need, such as storage and compute. It does this automatically behind the scenes. The term serverless is a bit confusing. We're still using virtual servers, such as storage and computing. However, we don't have…
