Serverless vs. Other Cloud Models: The Ultimate Abstraction

Serverless vs. Other Cloud Models: The Ultimate Abstraction

Serverless represents a fundamental shift from traditional models by abstracting away the entire runtime environment.

Service Model What You Manage Administrative Burden Ideal For
IaaS (Virtual Machines) OS, Runtime, Apps, Data High Full control over the OS; legacy migrations.
CaaS (Containers) Application, Data, Config Medium Microservices needing orchestration and control.
PaaS (Platform) Application Code, Data Low Web apps/APIS; focus on code, not platform.
Serverless (FaaS/CaaS) Individual Function Code None Event-driven, stateless tasks with variable traffic.
