Kubernetes Workloads in the Serverless Era: Architecture, Platforms, and Trends

Explore how microservices architecture has evolved into cloud-native architecture, where many of the infrastructure concerns are provided by Kubernetes in combination with additional abstractions provided by service mesh and serverless frameworks. In addition, the serverless ecosystem is evolving by exploring standard and open packaging, runtimes, and event formats.

API Gateways and Service Meshes: Opening the Door to Application Modernisation

Modernising applications by decoupling them from the underlying infrastructure on which they are running can enable innovation, reduce costs, and improve security. An API Gateway can decouple applications from external consumers, and a service mesh decouples applications from internal consumers.

Service Catalog and Kubernetes

Cloud-native applications do not just live inside Kubernetes—they also benefit from using the available cloud managed services. Similar to Kubernetes' declarative object configuration model, the Open Service Broker API with the Service Catalog provides a declarative way to describe cross-platform/cross-cloud managed service dependencies.
