Unmanaged vs. managed services

Unmanaged Managed
You manage scaling, fault Scaling, fault tolerance, and
tolerance, and availability availability are typically built in
to the service

What is serverless computing?
Building and running applications and services without
managing servers

No servers to Scales Never pay Availability and

provision or manage with usage for idle fault tolerance built in
