Re-play of Severless Webinar
So, you missed the webinar on serverless? Or you participated and you wanted to review the content. I created a 23-min version of the 45-min webinar. A reminder, serverless has servers. The primary difference is that the context switches to developers. In serverless platforms such as Functions as a Service (FaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS), it’s about the developer’s perspective. If the developer only needs to concern themselves with the code, then by definition it’s serverless. If the developers must worry about containers and container orchestration then it’s no longer a serverless platform.
What about operations? Well watch the webinar and learn more about the operator’s view.
