Acerca del curso

This course will help you understand what serverless is starting with an overview of the CNCF landscape around serverless technologies. You’ll learn how serverless can be made portable through the use of the Serverless 2.0 definition and Kubernetes, and explore the OpenFaaS toolchain, including: UI, CLI and REST API.

You’ll also learn about the OpenFaaS ecosystem, including the template store and function store for sharing functions and code templates.

The course explores how to operate OpenFaaS with autoscaling, metrics, dashboards, upgrades, custom URLs, and versioning.

Preparation for the exam: Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS)

This course is designed to show you how a serverless approach works in tandem with a Kubernetes cluster, and help you discover the potential of serverless functions.

By the end of the course you will be able to build functions using Python, configure them, and use secrets, as well as to add dependencies via pip, and learn how to build native extensions.

You will also know how to expose functions securely on the Internet with TLS, and secure them with authentication.

A basic knowledge of CLI tools and Linux administration
Some experience of the Python programming language
Experience with Kubernetes. If you are a novice Kubernetes user, we highly recommend you take the Introduction to Kubernetes (LFS158x) MOOC on edX
