A target group can refer to Instances, IP addresses, a Lambda function or an Application Load Balancer. Participants were happy with the service abstraction cross EC2 / EKS / Lambda allowing inter-connectivity between different stacks without worrying about the underlying details. However, it does have consequences.

Compute consistency: It is a best practice to keep the underlying compute for self-hosted runners consistent within resource classes — each machine should be identically configured with the same architecture and environment. The Lambda function created in a subsequent step will update these values to match your scaling requirements.

First question: are companies actually using a multi-cloud architecture? IDG did not provide a term definition for multi-cloud. Do you agree?

Serverless architecture has coined some new terms and, more confusingly, re-used a few older terms with new meanings.

I was a little restricted in my thinking the first time around and I’ve come to see FaaS as something not quite stateless, since caching state in a Lambda instance that might stick around for 5 hours is a perfectly reasonable idea. I thought a few folks might be interested.
