Opinionated offerings

As mentioned previously, Serverless is not only Function as a Service, but encompasses other peripheral and mission-critical components, abstracted away as turnkey offerings. Because they are abstracted away, these offerings are designed in an opinionated manner that the provider deems appropriate. This takes some of the flexibility away from the adopters when they want to support a custom use case for their systems.
