Kubernetes as a platform is growing immensely as a tool for container management, orchestration, and deployment. Kubernetes is slowly evolving and spreading widely towards fields like Microservices and Serverless functions as well.

This book will initially start by giving a gist of serverless functions. Then we will go ahead with configuring tools like Minikube and Kubeless which will help us to write and manage a function in Kubernetes environment. Then we will gradually move towards Kubernetes Fission, which is a framework used for managing serverless functions on Kubernetes environment. Towards the end of the book, we will also see how to work with Kubernetes functions on public and privatre cloud as well.

By the end of this book, we will be well versed with using Function-as-a-Service on Kubernetes Environment.

What you will learn Get the detailed analysis of serverless / functions-as-a-service Get a hands on experience of installing and running tasks in Kubernetes using Minikube. Install Kubeless on AWS and Digital Ocean along with running Kubeless in the cloud. Deploy applications on Kubernetes using Apache OpenWhishk. Explore topics such as Fission and Fission installation on cloud followed by launching applications Monitor a serverless function and get acquainted with security best practices and kubernetes use cases.
