Questions and Answers

What is a key benefit of Azure Functions?

  • Requires constant monitoring of server health
  • Requires less code and infrastructure maintenance (correct)
  • Provides dedicated servers for each application
  • Offers unlimited resources for application deployment

    • What are triggers and bindings in Azure Functions?

  • Triggers manage server deployment, and bindings handle resource allocation
  • Triggers start code execution, and bindings simplify coding for input and output data (correct)
  • Triggers process IoT data, and bindings manage message queues
  • Triggers automate business processes, and bindings define input and output

    • How does Azure Logic Apps differ from Azure Functions?

  • Logic Apps requires manual code writing, while Functions automate workflow orchestration
  • Functions is dedicated to database changes, while Logic Apps focus on web API development
  • Logic Apps is a workflow integration platform, while Functions is a serverless compute service (correct)
  • Logic Apps provide unlimited resources, whereas Functions have limited compute capacity
