Kubernetes for Serverless Applications

By: Russ McKendrick

Overview of this book

Kubernetes has established itself as the standard platform for container management, orchestration, and deployment. It has been adopted by companies such as Google, its original developers, and Microsoft as an integral part of their public cloud platforms, so that you can develop for Kubernetes and not worry about being locked into a single vendor. This book will initially start by introducing serverless functions. Then you will configure tools such as Minikube to run Kubernetes. Once you are up-and-running, you will install and configure Kubeless, your first step towards running Function as a Service (FaaS) on Kubernetes. Then you will gradually move towards running Fission, a framework used for managing serverless functions on Kubernetes environments. Towards the end of the book, you will also work with Kubernetes functions on public and private clouds. By the end of this book, we will have mastered using Function as a Service on Kubernetes environments.

Summary

In this chapter, we have discussed how our Kubernetes cluster is secured and how to secure the default configuration for each of the serverless tools we have looked at in the previous chapters. We have looked at three ways we can get real-time stats from our Kubernetes clusters using the Kubernetes dashboard and also looked at the monitoring tools provided by Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure for storing and querying metrics from your clusters.

In the next chapter, which is also the final chapter, we are going to be taking a look at how to best run your serverless workloads on Kubernetes, based on everything we have learnt in the previous chapters.
