AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 680

Which AWS service or resource is serverless?

Answer options

• A. AWS Snowball Edge
• B. Amazon EC2
• C. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)
• D. Amazon API Gateway

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Amazon API Gateway is a serverless service because AWS automatically manages the underlying infrastructure, scaling, and maintenance, charging only for the API calls received. On the other hand, Amazon EC2 and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) require users to manage or configure servers, while AWS Snowball Edge is a physical device used for data migration and edge computing.
