What is the primary goal when designing applications with high availability using serverless architectures and microservices?

• To ensure applications can be easily scaled and replaced

• To reduce the cost of development

• To increase the complexity of the application

• To limit the number of users

Answer explanation

To ensure applications can be easily scaled and replaced is the primary goal when designing applications with high availability using serverless architectures and microservices.

What is Serverless computing often referred to as?

• Function as a Service (FaaS)

• Platform as a Service (PaaS)

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

• Software as a Service (SaaS)

Answer explanation

Serverless computing is often referred to as Function as a Service (FaaS), where functions are executed in response to events without the need to manage servers.
