Serverless Computing on Kubernetes

In this chapter, we will explore the fascinating world of serverless computing in the cloud. The term "serverless" is getting a lot of attention, but it is a misnomer used to describe two different paradigms. A true serverless application runs as a web application in the user's browser or a mobile app and only interacts with external services. The types of serverless systems we build on Kubernetes are different. We will explain exactly what serverless means on Kubernetes and how it relates to other serverless solutions. We will cover serverless cloud solutions, introduce Knative – the Kubernetes foundation for functions as a service – and dive into Kubernetes Functions as a Service (FaaS) frameworks.
