Serverless on Kubernetes with Kubeless [A] - Sebastien Goasguen, Bitnami & Nguyen Anh-Tu, Skippbox
Serverless is getting lots of attention lately. It is positioned as the next evolution for building distributed applications, going beyond container based systems and letting developers build applications workflows based on triggers and events. The three main public clouds (GCP, Azure and AWS) all have serverless offerings. In this talk we will introduce kubeless, a serverless framework built on top of Kubernetes. It allows Kubernetes users to define functions that are dynamically injected in container runtimes and exposed via HTTP or event triggers. Events are managed by Apache Kafka while HTTP triggers are exposed with Kubernetes services. It is an open source clone of Google cloud functions, and provide similar capabilities than AWS lambda. We will explain kubeless architecture, show how we leverage ThirdPartyResources and an in-cluster controller. Above the interest of serverless, this architecture shows the power of Kubernetes and how it can be used as a platform to build new systems quickly.
