First of all, download and install minikube following the instructions of the oficial repository depending on your OS, and install the proper requirements, personally I'm using minikube and kubernetes 1.9.0 on Windows 10 with Hyper-V:
λ minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch="Primary Virtual Switch"
Note: Before executing the upper command you have to configure a virtual switch in the Hyper-V manager, in order to grant minikube access to internet.
Important: If you are using minikube in windows with the hyper-v drive, you have to use minikube through an admin powershell, because this is necessary to interact with the hyper-v machine.
Curiosity: You can connect to the minikube VM with the user 'docker' and the password 'tcuser'.
Once you have the minikube running in your local machine you only have follow the instructions of the official documentation.
To use serverless with kubeless you need to install the following plugin:
$ npm install serverless-kubeless
Once you have it installed, only remain to install the dependencies in the package.json:
$ yarn
or
$ npm install
-
Despite of, the serverless deploy process has a full integration with the webpack plugin, the kubeless runtime can't execute a handler compiled by webpack.
-
The handler name in the serverless.yml can't be a path, because the handler name in kubeless can't contain the character '/', entering in conflict with the application structure specified by Oasp4Fn. However this could be easily solved adding one line in the serverless-kubeless plugin, that splits the handler name and takes only the last part of the path.
-
The Node.js runtimes in kubeless, force us to export explicitly inside an object that overrides the
module.exportsobject (sample), also the use of a http Request/Response structure to handle the events and the impossibility to work easily with promises, aren't positive points for the FaaS framework.
