Serverless Architectures with Kubernetes

2. Introduction to Serverless in the Cloud

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

  • Evaluate the criteria for choosing the best serverless FaaS provider
  • Identify the supported languages, trigger types, and cost structure of major cloud service providers
  • Deploy serverless functions to cloud providers and integrate functions with other cloud services

In this chapter, we will explain the serverless FaaS products of cloud providers, create our first serverless functions in the cloud, and integrate with other cloud services.

Introduction

In the previous chapter, the architectural evolution of traditional architectures to serverless designs was discussed. In addition, the origin and benefits of serverless were presented to explain its high adoption and success in the industry. In this chapter, the focus will be on the serverless platforms of cloud providers. Let's start with the evolution of cloud technology offerings over the years.

At the start of cloud computing, the primary offering of cloud providers was its provisioned and ready-to-use hardware, namely the infrastructure. Cloud providers manage hardware and networking operations, and therefore, the product they were offering was Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), as illustrated in the following diagram. All cloud providers are still offering IaaS products as their core functionality, such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) in AWS and Google Compute Engine in GCP.

In the following years, cloud providers started to offer platforms...

Summary

In this chapter, we described the evolution of cloud technology offerings, including how the cloud products have changed over the years and how responsibilities are distributed among organizations, starting with IaaS and PaaS and, finally, FaaS. Following that, criteria were presented for evaluating serverless cloud offerings.

Programming language support, function triggers, and the cost structure of serverless products were listed so that we could compare the various cloud providers, that is, AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and GCF. In addition, we deployed a serverless function to all three cloud providers. This showed you how cloud functions can be integrated with other cloud services, such as the AWS API Gateway for REST API operations. Furthermore, a parameterized function was deployed to Azure Functions to show how we can process inputs from users or other systems. Finally, we deployed a scheduled function to GCF to show integration with other cloud services. At the end...

Key benefits

  • Get hands-on experience with frameworks, such as Kubeless, Apache OpenWhisk, and Funktion
  • Master the basics of Kubernetes and prepare yourself for challenging technical assessments
  • Learn how to launch Kubernetes both locally and in a public cloud

Description

Kubernetes has established itself as the standard platform for container management, orchestration, and deployment. By learning Kubernetes, you’ll be able to design your own serverless architecture by implementing the function-as-a-service (FaaS) model. After an accelerated, hands-on overview of the serverless architecture and various Kubernetes concepts, you’ll cover a wide range of real-world development challenges faced by real-world developers, and explore various techniques to overcome them. You’ll learn how to create production-ready Kubernetes clusters and run serverless applications on them. You'll see how Kubernetes platforms and serverless frameworks such as Kubeless, Apache OpenWhisk and OpenFaaS provide the tooling to help you develop serverless applications on Kubernetes. You'll also learn ways to select the appropriate framework for your upcoming project. By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills and confidence to design your own serverless applications using the power and flexibility of Kubernetes.

Who is this book for?

This book is for software developers and DevOps engineers who have basic or intermediate knowledge about Kubernetes and want to learn how to create serverless applications that run on Kubernetes. Those who want to design and create serverless applications running on the cloud, or on-premise Kubernetes clusters will also find this book useful.

What you will learn

  • Deploy a Kubernetes cluster locally with Minikube
  • Get familiar with AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions
  • Create, build, and deploy a webpage generated by the serverless functions in the cloud
  • Create a Kubernetes cluster running on the virtual kubelet hardware abstraction
  • Create, test, troubleshoot, and delete an OpenFaaS function
  • Create a sample Slackbot with Apache OpenWhisk actions
