VMware commercialized the idea of virtual machines, and cloud providers embraced the same concept with services like Amazon EC2, Google Compute, and Azure virtual machines. Serverless computing is a cloud-based, on-demand execution model where customers consume resources solely based on their application usage. Pay Per Use.

Container as a service is a cloud-based service that allows companies to manage and deploy containers at scale. Container environments enable enterprises to quickly deploy and develop cloud-native applications that can run anywhere. This, in turn, drove the creation of cloud-based services that further automated this function.
