Oracle Cloud Platform Data Integration 2020 Specialist — Question 53

Which two statements are true for serverless computing and serverless architectures? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Long running tasks are perfectly suited for serverless
• B. Serverless function state should never be stored externally
• C. Application DevOps team is responsible for scaling
• D. Serverless function execution is fully managed by a third party
• E. Applications running on a FaaS (Functions as a Service) platform

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Option B is correct because serverless functions are designed to be stateless, and storing state externally is a best practice. Option E is also correct as FaaS platforms provide a serverless environment for deploying applications. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because long running tasks are not ideal for serverless, scaling is typically handled automatically by the provider, and serverless execution management is not entirely the responsibility of a third-party.
