5. What’s “serverless”
Pay only
for what you use
Scaling is event-driven
not resource-driven
Availability
Speed
Servers are
fully-abstracted

6. Benefits of “serverless”
Ease of scale Pay per
execution
Do less
Manage less

7. “Serverlessness” of Logic Apps and Functions
No need to worry about VMs/PaaS VMs
No need to worry about resources, but events
DevOps focus on code, deployment and managing
the app, but not the platform.
Pay per action or execution time.
Born, live and die on the cloud (develop, test and ship)
