Index 2018 IBM Cloud Functions bit.ly/serverless-index bit.ly/index-accounts How does IBM Cloud Functions fit into our cloud ecosystem? • Control over runtime environment (runtimes, versions, minimal OS). • Greater reusability and portability of container images. • Great fit for bringing containerized apps and systems to the cloud. • No need to manage underlying OS. • Buildpacks provide influence over the runtime, giving as much or as little control (sensible defaults) as desired. • Great fit for many existing web apps with a stable programming model. • OS, runtime, and even container lifecycle is completely abstracted (serverless). • Autoscales in response to demand, with an associated granular cost model. • Great fit for emerging, non-HTTP, event-driven workloads involving IoT, data, messages. • More responsibility over package configuration (security patches). • Need to understand distributed systems. • Loss of control over operating system, possibly at the mercy of buildpack versions. • Limited to HTTP/HTTPS • An emerging computing model, rapid innovation with less comprehensive and stable documentation, samples, tools, and best practices. Full control over infrastructure and maximum portability Focus on the application and let the platform handle the rest Auto-scaled, event-driven applications that respond to a variety of triggers Containers-as-a-Service Platform-as-a-Service Functions-as-a-Service
