Which AWS compute option lets developers run code in response to events WITHOUT provisioning or managing servers?

AWS Outposts
AWS Lambda
AWS Snowball
Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances

Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. AWS Lambda

Lambda is AWS's serverless function service — you upload code, configure a trigger (HTTP, S3 upload, queue message, schedule), and AWS runs it on demand with no server management. EC2 (even Reserved) still requires instance management. Outposts is on-prem hardware. Snowball is offline data transfer.
