Listen "#43: Containers, Docker, Kubernetes and Serverless - explaining Serverless"
Episode Synopsis
Over the current few episodes I am introducing a number of technologies from modern Software Delivery.
These are:
Containers
Docker
Kubernetes
And Serverless
There are "hot" technologies within Software Development at the moment.
They are helping Software Teams:
Get Better ROI when spending on Computer Servers
Improving the speed to market
Allowing for more complex and ambitious solutions
These are technologies that your Development Team may want to use or may even be using.
In episode 40, I explained Virtualisation; a technology that makes the other possible.
In episode 41, I introduced Containers and the Docker Container format - a technology that allow us to achieve greater ROI from our physical servers, improves our developer productivity and increase access to the tools they need.
In episode 42, I introduced Container Orchestrators and Kubernetes; a technology for running complex containers based solutions; helping us to:
Ensuring consistent load across our physical machines - giving better ROI through higher density usage
Starting and stopping containers based on load - again giving better density and being more resilience to inconsistent workloads
Self healing to avoid costly and embarrassing outages
Proving a platform to allow multiple containers to operate as single system
And automating many, previously, manual tasks
In this episode I will move onto the Serverless technology.
I will also close out this little series on "hot" technologies, by talking about them in the Cloud and the future of these technologies as I foresee it.
