Serverless Architectures with Kubernetes

Deploy orchestrate and monitor serverless applications using KubernetesKey FeaturesGet hands-on experience with frameworks such as Kubeless Apache OpenWhisk and FunktionMaster the basics of Kubernetes and prepare yourself for challenging technical assessmentsLearn how to launch Kubernetes both locally and in a public cloudBook DescriptionKubernetes 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.What you will learnDeploy a Kubernetes cluster locally with MinikubeGet familiar with AWS Lambda and Google Cloud FunctionsCreate build and deploy a webpage generated by the serverless functions in the cloudCreate a Kubernetes cluster running on the virtual kubelet hardware abstractionCreate test troubleshoot and delete an OpenFaaS functionCreate a sample Slackbot with Apache OpenWhisk actionsWho this book is forThis 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.
