Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2018

Serverless functions are about iterating faster, but users are having to create their own complex solutions to get functions into production.

This talk introduces OpenFaaS Cloud - a portable CI/CD pipeline that enables a GitOps experience as originally popularised by Heroku. As a user no Docker or Kubernetes knowledge is required, you just “git push and get functions”. A cloud-native toolset will build, test, push and deploy your functions. A GitHub App gives native integrations into GitHub which automatically updates commit statuses when your functions are ready.

OpenFaaS Cloud focuses on useability with a built-in dashboard and security using CNI NetworkPolicy to isolate functions, CertManager for HTTPS and Bitnami SealedSecrets to enable any secret to be stored in a public GitHub repo. You can use your own cluster, a managed Kubernetes service or the free community-supported cluster.
