Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 7

Which characteristic of serverless computing enables developers to quickly deploy application code?

Answer options

• A. Uploading cloud service autoscaling services to deploy more virtual machines to run their application code based on user demand
• B. Uploading the application code itself, without having to provision a full container image or any OS virtual machine components
• C. Using cloud service spot pricing to reduce the cost of using virtual machines to run their application code
• D. Using Container as a Service (CaaS) to deploy application containers to run their code.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights that serverless computing allows developers to upload just the application code, simplifying the deployment process without the need for full virtual machines or container images. Options A, C, and D involve additional complexities such as provisioning resources or managing containers, which go against the principle of serverless architecture that focuses on minimal management overhead.
