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.

Fission commands

Before we look at moving our Fission installation to a public cloud, we should look at the command client a little more. There are several top-level commands available that we can use to manage our functions and routes.

The fission function command

This is pretty much where you will spend most of your time when using Fission. The function command is how you create, manage, and delete your functions. You can use either fission function <command> or fission fn <command>.

The create command

We have already used this command so we don't need...
