Today Question:
Which service is a “serverless” type?
A) EC2
B) Lambda
C) EMR
D) Databricks
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that runs code without server management. You pay only for execution time, and Lambda automatically scales based on request volume. It is suitable for event-driven architectures, data stream processing, API backends, and short batch jobs. Unlike EC2 or EMR, there is no need to provision servers, set up clusters, or handle scaling, which reduces operational overhead and simplifies application deployment.
