Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 153

How does adopting a serverless model impact application development?

Answer options

• A. costs more to develop application code because it uses more compute resources
• B. slows down the deployment of application code, but it improves the quality of code development
• C. reduces the operational overhead necessary to deploy application code
• D. prevents developers from focusing on just the application code because you need to provision the underlying infrastructure to run the code

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a serverless model significantly reduces the amount of operational management needed, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than managing servers. Option A is incorrect as serverless can actually lower costs by optimizing resource usage. Option B is wrong because serverless typically accelerates deployment rather than slowing it down. Option D is incorrect since serverless abstracts away the infrastructure management, enabling developers to prioritize application development.
