google-cloud-cpp VS OpenWhisk

In this article, you'll learn how to set up the NetBird CLI to ensure a secure connection to a Kubernetes cluster on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), complete with a fail-safe route for uninterrupted access.

Try to utilize your AWS free tier as much as you can, you can also register a new account if you have exhausted the current one. Alternatively, you can use Google Cloud (GCP) to rent virtual machines from this cloud service provider - you can get $300 credit here or here (NOTE: Please read instructions carefully to get your credits)

A VM is the original “hosting” product of the cloud era. Over the last 20 years, VM providers have come and gone, as have enterprise virtualization solutions such as VMware. Today you can do this somewhere like OVHcloud, Hetzner or DigitalOcean, which took over the “server” market from the early 2000’s. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft's Azure also offer VMs, at a less competitive price. In their case, the VMs are either a building block for other services or the value is in the ecosystem. See the section on public cloud below for more.

But I sus on a webpage: cloud.google.com

If you don't already have a GCP account, visit the Google Cloud Platform website (https://cloud.google.com or https://cloud.google.com/gcp/) and sign up for a GCP account.

Google Cloud Platform Account: You'll need a GCP account. If you don't have one, you can sign up here.

An AWS, GCP or Azure account (your choice)

That is what the YAML is for. Securely send data to a specific cloud service ( AWS, Google Cloud, Azure ). They call the whole process, CI/CD, deployment, etc etc etc. (Hey picky, I know they are not the same, but they kind of are.)

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.

OpenWhisk - https://openwhisk.apache.org

The serverless functions with Digital Ocean are based on Apache Open Whisk, so the service has additional name space, which need to go into the URL.

The two biggest options are OpenWhisk and OpenFaas. Check out /r/serverless for more options. I'm experimenting currently with OpenFaas as it's the lighter weigh to of the two.

If you meant lambda for cloud functions provided by Amazon then this is open source and free, as long as you host it yourself: https://openwhisk.apache.org/

There are so many of them in big data, e.g. Kafka, Spark, Flink, Delta, Snowplow, Finagle, Deequ, CMAK, OpenWhisk, Snowflake, TheHive, TVM-VTA, etc.

The foundation is Apache OpenWhisk https://github.com/apache/openwhisk with DO specific customization to work with managed databased, log shipping, and other DO specific capabilities. The closest programming model is AWS Lambda in terms of the semantics and execution model.
