Technical requirements

For this chapter, you need the following:

• A single or multi-node K3s cluster using ARM devices with MetalLB installed and with the options to avoid Traefik being installed as the default ingress controller.
• kubectl configured to be used on your local machine to avoid using the --kubeconfig parameter.
• Clone the repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Edge-Computing-Systems-with-Kubernetes/tree/main/ch9 if you want to run the YAML configuration by using kubectl apply instead of copying the code from the book. Take a look at the code for Python and YAML configurations inside the ch9 directory.

We are going to install Knative to implement simple use cases using serverless APIs and event-driven pipelines. Let’s understand what serverless architectures are and how can they help in edge computing environments.
