Great collection!

But .. I do not think the last two quoted definitions are correct.

Paul Johnstons definition is only an effect of the serverless not the source. You can achieve the same effect with zero scaling technologies like AppEngine too, which are not serverless.

Peters is not so completr, you do not need to focus on low level when dealing with containers, but you still have to handle some configs like os type and min max scaling limits, which are not low level but still missing from serverless.
