IT Skills     Cloud Computing and Virtualization     CloudOps     Agnostic Serverless Frameworks
Because open-source platforms provide access to IT innovations, many developers utilize them. There are several open-source projects for working with the Serverless Framework (Apache OpenWhisk, Fn from Oracle, Kubeless, Knative, Project Riff, etc.). This course helps developers and project managers choose from and work with these different open-source frameworks.
Start by exploring the core features of prominent open-source serverless frameworks. Then, compare open-source and cloud-based serverless frameworks before learning how to create and invoke actions and develop Functions as a Service using Apache OpenWhisk.
Moving along, set up Fn Project to create, deploy, and invoke functions. Install and configure Fission on Kubernetes clusters. Write short-lived functions in Node.js, map them to HTTP requests, and deploy them on Fission. And use Kubeless for several essential tasks.
When you're done, you'll be able to choose and use the best open-source serverless framework platform for your projects.
