This plugin brings Kubeless support within the Serverless Framework.
Kubeless is a Kubernetes-native Serverless solution.
Pre requisites
Make sure you have a kubernetes endpoint running and kubeless installed. You can find the installation intructions here.
Once you have Kubeless running in your cluster you can install serverless
$ npm install serverless -g
Try out the example
Clone this repo and check the example function
$ git clone https://github.com/serverless/serverless-kubeless $ cd serverless-kubeless/examples/get-python $ cat serverless.yml service: hello provider: name: kubeless runtime: python2.7 plugins: - serverless-kubeless functions: hello: description: 'Hello function' handler: handler.hello
Download dependencies
Deploy function.
$ serverless deploy Serverless: Packaging service... Serverless: Excluding development dependencies... Serverless: Deploying function hello... Serverless: Function hello successfully deployed
The function will be deployed to k8s via kubeless.
$ kubectl get function NAME AGE hello 50s $ kubectl get pod NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE hello-1815473417-1ttt7 1/1 Running 0 1m
Now you will be able to call the function:
$ serverless invoke -f hello -l Serverless: Calling function: hello... -------------------------------------------------------------------- hello world
You can also check the logs for the function:
$ serverless logs -f hello 172.17.0.1 - - [12/Jul/2017:09:47:18 +0000] "GET /healthz HTTP/1.1" 200 2 "" "Go-http-client/1.1" 0/118 172.17.0.1 - - [12/Jul/2017:09:47:21 +0000] "GET /healthz HTTP/1.1" 200 2 "" "Go-http-client/1.1" 0/93 172.17.0.1 - - [12/Jul/2017:09:47:24 +0000] "GET /healthz HTTP/1.1" 200 2 "" "Go-http-client/1.1" 0/108 172.17.0.1 - - [12/Jul/2017:09:47:25 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 11 "" "" 0/316
Or you can obtain the function information:
$ serverless info
Service Information "hello"
Cluster IP: 10.0.0.51
Type: ClusterIP
Ports:
Name: http-function-port
Protocol: TCP
Port: 8080
Target Port: 8080
Function Info
Description: Hello function
Handler: handler.hello
Runtime: python2.7
Trigger: HTTP
Dependencies:You can access the function through its HTTP interface as well using kubectl proxy and accessing:
$ curl http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/default/services/hello/proxy/ hello world
If you have a change in your function and you want to redeploy it you can run:
$ serverless deploy function -f hello Serverless: Redeploying hello... Serverless: Function hello successfully deployed
Finally you can remove the function.
$ serverless remove Serverless: Removing function: hello... Serverless: Function hello successfully deleted
Kubernetes secrets
Kubernetes secret objects let you store and manage sensitive information, such as passwords, OAuth tokens, and ssh keys. Putting this information in a secret is safer and more flexible than putting it verbatim in a Pod definition or in a container image. To use secrets follow the next steps:
-
Create a K8s secret:
kubectl create secret generic secret-file --from-file=secret.txt -n namespace-name -
Add the secret key into the provider definition in the serverless.yml file below the
secretskey. You can specify an array of secrets and they will be mounted at root level in the pod file system using the path/<secret-name>:
... functions: my-handler: secrets: - secret-file ...
- Now inside your pod, you will be able to access the route
/secret-file/secret.txt.
