3. DISCLAIMER: THERE MIGHT(!) BE RANT
 ON CONTAINERS
4. THERE IS FUSS ABOUT THE NAME „SERVERLESS“ IT’S JUST A NAME!
5. FAAS ON CONTAINERS… ▸OpenFaaS ▸Fn Project ▸OpenWhisk ▸Knative CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS ▸Fission ▸Kubeless ▸…and probably many, many more!
6. SERVERLESS IS NOT FAAS ON CONTAINERS!
7. OPERATIONAL OVERHEAD, E.G. FN PROJECT CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS from: https://github.com/fnproject/fn/blob/master/docs/operating/production.md
8. CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS

10. ARE YOUR CONTAINERS STABLE AND SECURE? Photo by Michael Johansson (http://www.michaeljohansson.com) http://www.diversity.net.nz/docker-and-some-serverless-ambitions/2017/11/09/
11. CONTAINERS OFFER GREAT POWER, BUT THEY ALSO DEMAND OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY! Daniel Bryant CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS
12. IN THE MEANWHILE, EVOLUTION… CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS
13. „CONTAINERLESS“ https://read.acloud.guru/serverless-superheroes-lynn-langit-on-big-data-nosql-and-google-versus-aws-f4427dc8679c
14. AWS FARGATE Run containers without managing servers or clusters https://aws.amazon.com/fargate/
15. VENDOR LOCK-IN!!! CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS

17. THE „LOCK-IN“-THING… CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS AVOID LOCK-IN HAVE TOTAL CONTROL MOVE FAST INNOVATE MORE REDUCE OVERHEAD vs.
18. BUT, BUT… CLOUD-NATIVE!!! CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS
19. NO, JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE USING KUBERNETES, YOU ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY CLOUD-NATIVE! CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS
20. CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS https://twitter.com/garethr/status/1057997802238869504 I’LL LEAVE THIS HERE…
21. WHAT CLOUD-NATIVE ACTUALLY MEANS… ▸ Containerized
 Each part (applications, processes, etc) is packaged in its own container. This facilitates reproducability, transparency and resource isolation. ▸ Dynamically orchestrated
 Containers are actively scheduled and managed to optimize resource utilization. ▸ Microservices oriented
 Applications are segmented into microservices. This significantly increases the overall agility and maintainability of applications. ▸ …and there’s also a Serverless-WG in CNCF, which has released version 0.1 of CloudEvents (cloudevents.io)! CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS https://www.cncf.io/about/faq/
22. CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS CLOUD-NATIVE IN BULLSHIT-BINGO STYLE… https://medium.com/@adrianco/cloud-native-computing-5f0f41a982bf#---0-260
23. LET’S GET A BIT MORE SOPHISTICATED… CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS
24. CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS ADVANTAGES OF CONTAINERS ▸ Control and flexibility ▸ Vendor-agnostic ▸ Easier migration path ▸ Portability DISADVANTAGES OF CONTAINERS ▸ Administrative Work
 (e.g. apply security fixes for containers, etc.) ▸ Scaling is slower ▸ Running costs ▸ Hard to get started ▸ More manual intervention see also: https://serverless.com/blog/serverless-faas-vs-containers/
25. CONTAINERS VS. SERVERLESS ADVANTAGES OF SERVERLESS ▸ Zero administration ▸ Pay-per-execution ▸ Zero cost for idle time ▸ Auto-scaling ▸ Faster time-to-market ▸ Microservice nature
 -> clearer codebase separation ▸ Significantly reduced administration and maintenance burden DISADVANTAGES OF SERVERLESS ▸ No standardization (yet… -> CloudEvents) ▸ „Black box“ environment ▸ Vendor lock-in (yet…) ▸ Cold starts (yet…) ▸ Complex apps can be hard to build and manage see also: https://serverless.com/blog/serverless-faas-vs-containers/
26. WHEN TO
 CHOOSE WHAT? Honestly, it depends! Now it’s time for the big question:
