I'm afraid your "translation" does a disservice to all the potential readers of the paper, to those who want to decide whether to use serverless computing at present and to the authors.

Quoting from the conclusion of the paper:

"Taken together, these challenges seem both interesting and surmountable. The FaaS platforms from cloud providers are not fully open source, but the systems issues delineated above can be explored in new systems by third parties using cloud features like container orchestration. The program analysis and scheduling issues are likely to open up significant opportunities for more formal research, especially for data-centric programs. Finally, language design issues remain a fascinating challenge, bridging program analysis power to programmer productivity and design tastes. In sum, we are optimistic that research can open the cloud’s full potential to programmers. Whether we call the new results “serverless computing” or something else, the future is fluid."
