As a DevOps guy the definition makes sense to me. I've got several parts of my operation that require me to spin up 3 - 30 instances to handle parallel load. I'm always monitoring queues to see if I'm scaling correctly. If I went 'Serverless' Amazon would handle that whole chunk for me. That's approximately 20% of my job taken care of.

I think to an end-user the definition is meaningless, but to its intended audience it fits.
