FaaS in k8s generally has either warm micronodes or low cost runtimes prespooled onto the hardware. It's just another approach.
Also remember containers are not a whole operating system, it's just a workload sandbox, chroot env and a an overlayfs mount. The root OS is still providing any and all kernel services. -
@12bitfloat I'll sound like a broken record, but I'll say it again - it's only dumb if you think it's the solution to everything. If you run incredibly spiky workloads and/or would benefit from scaling to zero in quiet times, it could be a very useful tool.
So I just saw a post on Facebook about a "Serverless Function as a Service on Kubernetes". Could someone give me eye bleach please?
I really can't wait after Scoped Storage and how goddamn slow it is, to have a "glorified microservice" take 5 minutes to spin up a container, just to do something silly like printing a hello world. In the post it was apparently showing a QR code.. that's it. A fucking QR code, because remember it's just a function.
A whole fucking operating system that goes up and back down, just to run a goddamn fucking function!!!
