Serverless Madness on Kubernetes
Wednesday, 5:00 PM EST - SAND DUNE
Prerequisite: If you are unfamiliar with Kubernetes be sure to attend: Kubernetes Koncepts.
From operating system on bare metal, to virtual machines on hypervisors, to containers orchestration platforms. How we run our code and bundle our applications continues to evolve. Serverless computing continuous our evolutionary path for our architectures.
Kubernetes provides an ideal, vendor-agnostic platform for serverless computing. Serverless promises to developers that we can worry less about the cluster and focus more on their logic. Based on your Kubernetes knowledge we will discover the various contributors of serverless frameworks on Kubernetes. Specifically, we will unpack how two open source serverless frameworks, Kubeless and OpenFaaS, leverage Kubernetes to achieve their promises. We will explore how Knative is helping the serverless providers evolve to the next levels sophistication.
About Jonathan Johnson
Jonathan Johnson is an independent software architect with a concentration on helping others unpack the riches in the cloud native and Kubernetes ecosystems.
For 30 years Jonathan has been designing useful software to move businesses forward. His career began creating laboratory instrument software and throughout the years, his focus has been moving with industry advances benefitting from Moore’s Law. He was enticed by the advent of object-oriented design and applied it to financial software. As banking moved to the internet, enterprise applications took off and Java exploded onto the scene. Since then, he has inhabited that ecosystem. After a few years, he returned to laboratory software and leveraged Java-based state machines and enterprise services to manage the terabytes of data flowing out of DNA sequencing instruments. As a hands-on architect, he applied the advantages of microservices, containers, and Kubernetes with a laboratory management platform.
Today he enjoys sharing his experience with peers. He provides perspective on ways to modernize application architectures while adhering to the fundamentals of modularity - high cohesion and low coupling.microservices, containers, and Kubernetes to their laboratory management platform.
