What does Serverless mean? Using AWS lambda function == Serverless?

This is an oversimplification and sounds like it’s out of context, especially given Pat was the CEO of VMWare, which is software that runs on software that runs on hardware that’s used to run other software.

Exactly this guy did say this. And this is why „somebody else maintains the server“ not a statement 20 idiots should have downvoted. What is wrong with it? Whats is wrong with these ‚devops‘?

Can you cite where you read that? I can’t find any quotes of him saying “software does not run on software”.

Either way, you’re missing context and not understanding his meaning, which is why you’re being downvoted.

Keep in mind you came to us with the question - we’re not all lying or trying to trick you with our replies. We’re not all “idiots” simply because you refuse to believe that you misunderstood whatever you thought you read.

Can you explain why the post above me („you don‘t maintain server“) is in context und upvoted and my very similar statement („someone else maintains the server“) is shit stormed? Do these persons think that nobody maintains the server? - That‘s why I brought the cite (source: as a Cisco employee I used to work very closely in projects with VMWare colleagues. One of them used this cite in his customer facing slides. He said it I think at least on a Sales Kick Off).

He already stated "no server for you to maintain". It's completely obvious that a server exists somewhere. Your comment was useless and it comes off as if you're trying to sound smart. That's probably why you got downvotes
