In this, our final chapter, we are going to talk about a few of the different scenarios where you would want to host your own serverless workloads, and what to consider when choosing a tool. We are going to start by discussing the advantages and disadvantages of working with a technology that is still in its infancy and is still going through quite a lot of active development.

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.
