Summary

In this chapter, you deployed serverless functions on top of your Kubernetes cluster. To achieve this, you first created a VM and an ACR.

You started the functions deployments by deploying a function that used an HTTP trigger. The Azure Functions core tools were used to create that function and to deploy it to Kubernetes.

Afterward, you installed an additional component on your Kubernetes cluster called KEDA. KEDA allows serverless scaling in Kubernetes. It allows deployments to and from zero pods, and it also provides additional metrics to the HPA. You used a function that was triggered on messages in an Azure storage queue.

In the next – and final – chapter of this book, you'll learn how to integrate containers and Kubernetes in a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline using GitHub Actions.
