Which scenario calls for a serverless agent rather than a host agent?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
You pick the serverless agent when there's no persistent host you control. Functions run on provider-managed infrastructure, so you can't install a traditional host agent.
Full Explanation
The correct scenario is monitoring functions that run on provider-managed infrastructure, where there is no persistent host to install an agent on. Serverless functions have no long-lived host and no operating system you can administer, so instrumentation is delivered as part of the function environment rather than as a separately installed agent.
Monitoring an application on a virtual machine the organisation administers is incorrect because a virtual machine you administer is the standard host-agent case.
Monitoring a container workload on a cluster the organisation operates is incorrect because a cluster you operate exposes nodes on which host agents run, typically deployed as a DaemonSet.
Monitoring a physical server in the organisation's own data centre is incorrect because a physical server is the most straightforward host-agent scenario of all.
For the exam, decide agent type by asking whether a persistent, administrable host exists.
