OpenFaaS installation and setup

There are multiple ways to install OpenFaaS. The recommended one is to use the official CLI: arkade. We will take this route.

1. We’ll start by installing arkade:

   root@serverless101:~# curl -SLsf https://get.arkade.dev/ | sudo sh

   Downloading package

2. Let’s now install OpenFaaS with arkade on our existing minikube cluster. Please note that you will have to install the actual kubectl utility as arkade doesn’t seem to pick up our minikube alias for kubectl:

   safeer@serverless101:~$ arkade install openfaas

   Using Kubeconfig: /home/safeer/.kube/config

   Client: x86_64, Linux

   ….TRUNCATED…..
