Serverless in Kubernetes: Portable Simplified Ops for Cloud-Native Workloads
Serverless! Functions as a service! DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION!
…just kidding.
One of the ideas in IT that's been gathering buzz for a while is “serverless.” Or sometimes “functions as a service,” used interchangeably. And…okay, but what does that actually mean? And…how does it help what you're trying to accomplish in your organization?
In this talk, Josh and Laine talk about what serverless is, and what it isn't, along with why you should care and how it can help with actual “digital transformation.” They'll go over the benefits and drawbacks of this method of implementing applications and show a demo of how it works using Knative (https://knative.dev/) on a Kubernetes cluster.
About Laine Minor
Laine has been a developer, a technical lead, a stay at home mom, and an IT architect – and that last was a broad enough title that it let her do both technical things AND cultural things.
She realized then that that was her most favorite place to be, in that in-between place of technology and culture.
She also learned that enabling people and organizations is HARD work, and that explaining that in-between place can help.
