The Azure serverless computing offering is called Azure Functions.
Azure offers a number of other "compute-on-demand" services in which you aren't required to manage servers, such as Azure WebJobs and Azure Batch. These services are not Functions as a Service, and are best suited for background or batch processing. These services will be covered in the Appendix A, Azure Compute On-Demand Options.
