Serverless architectures

- [Instructor] So, let's talk about serverless computing.…So, what's important about it is…that no longer are we needing…to think about server resources when building…or deploying applications.…When we leverage cloud computing,…one of the more annoying things we have…to do is to configure the resources that we're leveraging.…And so, if we set up a CPU, such as an EC-2 instance…from Amazon, or we set up a storage instance,…such as S3 from Amazon, we have to configure what we need,…how much storage, how much memory,…what kind of cores we need to use,…what kind of operating system and platform we need to use.…

Is it going to be Linux or Windows, or whatever?…And at the end of the day, I don't think we care.…If we're building an application,…we want to leverage the optimized sets of resources…that we're going to need to deploy the application,…we don't want to have to think about it as a step,…and what serverless does is removes us from having…to do that.…So, in other words, it's able to allocate the resources…we need and it's able to provision them…
