Serverless runtime environments

A serverless runtime environment is an advanced serverless deployment solution that doesn't require downloading, installing, configuring, or maintaining a Secure Agent or Secure Agent group. You can use a serverless runtime environment in the same way that you use a runtime environment when you configure a connection or tasks.
A serverless runtime environment is an advanced serverless deployment solution that uses an isolated, single-tenant model.
The single-tenant model provides a dedicated server with virtual machine resources to run tasks for your organization. The serverless runtime environment auto-scales with the size of the workload while your data remains in your cloud environment.
For Data Ingestion and Replication, a serverless runtime environment can be hosted on the Azure Virtual Network (VNet) cloud platform.
For more information about serverless runtime environments, see Administrator > Runtime environments > Serverless runtime environments.
You can run the following types of application ingestion and replication jobs and database ingestion and replication jobs on a serverless runtime environment:
Application Ingestion and Replication sources:
These application ingestion and replication jobs can have any of the following target types: Amazon Redshift, Databricks, Google BigQuery, Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, and SQL Server.
Database Ingestion and Replication sources:
