Serverless — AWS Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) Practice Questions

Serverless computing is a cloud execution model in which the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation and provisioning of infrastructure, so developers focus entirely on writing code rather than managing servers. The CLF-C02 exam positions serverless as a key benefit of AWS, with AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon S3, and AWS Fargate all representing serverless or serverless-compatible services. The serverless model offers automatic scaling, built-in high availability, and a pay-per-use pricing model where charges are based on actual consumption rather than reserved capacity. Candidates should be able to identify when a serverless architecture is appropriate and understand the trade-offs compared to server-based approaches, such as cold start latency and stateless execution constraints.
