I'll try to explain with an example. Lets say i have a worker service, that does basic arithmetic calculations
Cloud Computing (IaaS) : use a VM, host a service, that is constantly running and listening for inputs to process and give outputs
Serverless Computing (PaaS) : define service code, send inputs -> on-demand backend used -> processing -> outputs
So the gist can be that, serverless computing uses resources solely based on usage from the application (cloud takes care of the rest, user just has to define his code)
whereas for cloud computing the resources are allocated in advance (the user has to manage the infra)
ps. I'm preparing for CCSK as well, and i'm still in module 9, but the above answer based on prior experience (i'll update the answer if i find anything new when i reach module 14 :-P)

Hello all!
In Domain 14 of the CCSK Security Guidance they talk about Serverless Computing. This seems to be an interesting topic. I was wondering if anyone could offer a bit more information on how it differs exactly from normal Cloud Computing, as they seem very similar?
Thank you :)
