AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 513

A company wants to use a serverless compute service for an application.

Which AWS service will meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS Lambda
• B. AWS CloudFormation
• C. AWS Elastic Beanstalk
• D. Elastic Load Balancing

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS Lambda is a serverless, event-driven compute service that allows you to run code for virtually any type of application or backend service without provisioning or managing servers. In contrast, AWS CloudFormation is used for infrastructure as code, AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a platform as a service (PaaS) for deploying applications, and Elastic Load Balancing distributes network traffic.
