dashboard VS OpenFaaS

Setting up and interacting with your first cluster can be overwhelming. Just like me, you might have come across the infamous kubernetes/dashboard, followed the installation instructions, and asked yourself: "What did I just do and why exactly does this work the way it works?" And after some tinkering with your cluster, you might have installed even more external tools that help you with some specific aspects of cluster management, providing you with either a CLI or a Web UI.

Loki needs Promtail

Kibana needs Elasticsearch

I'm not sure if this has good enough log viewing https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard

The Kubernetes Dashboard could work for this use case.

yaml GITHUB_URL=https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/releases VERSION_KUBE_DASHBOARD=$(curl -w '%{url_effective}' -I -L -s -S ${GITHUB_URL}/latest -o /dev/null | sed -e 's|.*/||') sudo k3s kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/${VERSION_KUBE_DASHBOARD}/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

paste the token created. Have fun! source1 source2

At the end of the guide, two web applications will be deployed: the sample ASP.NET Core app from Microsoft and Kubernetes dashboard. Both served on custom local domains with trusted TLS.

Here's an option developed by the Kubernetes folks, https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard . There are several more options out there if you search for alternatives to this.

Kubernetes Dashboard GitHub tells:

sorry I misspoke this is the pattern I was thinking of - https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/blob/master/modules/web/Dockerfile

Serverless functions are now offered by many cloud providers, as well as having options like OpenFaaS, Knative, Apache's Openwhisk and more from the open source community that run in environments ranging from one server all the way up to globally replicated private clusters.

OpenFaaS

Did you consider running knative or openfaas? https://github.com/openfaas/faas

Anyone knows other alternatives for Azure Functions, but for DIY hosting? ( eg. OpenFaas - https://www.openfaas.com/ )

Maybe OpenFaaS with grafana and slack notifications for non-200 responses?

By the way, if your organization is leveraging EKS as a platform and your DevOps team is willing to enable this operator, there's an exciting tool called OpenFaaS. Essentially, it enables you to host your Lambda functions on your own infrastructure instead of relying on the public cloud provider.

This is where I see K8S coming in – teachers can provide dev deployments that are setup for students to learn. Teachers can also provide containers that run automated tests against the student containers for assessment! Plus, we can smooth over some of the git workflow stuff for the ripest of beginners; we can integrate with github to sync their work on our platform to repositories on their github account, so that they can really take ownership of the work they do on the platform. Last, students can graduate their work from development into production very easily, since we can take the base images + student diffs, build a new "prod" image for the student. We can run students' prod work on "serverless" K8S frameworks like fission or OpenFaas to be able to host many low-traffic "production" apps at the same time.
