| Often confused with | IaaS / PaaS / FaaS / Managed / Serverless |
In one sentence
IaaS, managed platforms, FaaS, and serverless services shift infrastructure work to AWS but do not remove customer responsibility.
Key points
- EC2 provides high control and leaves guest OS, patching, applications, and data to the customer.
- RDS manages more database infrastructure, while customers still own schema, accounts, networking, configuration, and recovery validation.
- Lambda and DynamoDB remove server management but still require correct code, access design, data protection, and cost control.
Exam takeaway
Managed and serverless describe a responsibility spectrum, not the absence of responsibility.
