  1. 1
    Tekton is a powerful and flexible open-source framework for creating CI/CD systems, allowing developers to build, test, and deploy across cloud providers and on-premise systems.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    There was also Knative Build but long story short, it spun out and became what we now know as Tekton.

    LXC

    LXC by Linuxcontainers.org is a set of tools, templates, library and language bindings. It's pretty low level, very flexible and covers just about every containment feature supported by the upstream kernel.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Docker introduced their new container technology at PyCon 2013. At this time, Docker containers were just a wrapper for Linux Containers but this fundamentally changed the landscape of computing (more on this later).

  3. Knative provides a set of components for building modern, source-centric, and container-based applications that can run anywhere.
    In 2018, Google announced an OSS project called Knative. Knative was meant to be executed on top of Kubernetes and streamline the deployment of applications on the platform.

  4. Fission.io is a serverless framework for Kubernetes that supports many concepts such as event triggers, parallel execution, and statelessness.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    The FaaS platform gained a lot of popularity which resulted in many competitors. There was OSS providers like OpenFaaS or Fission. There were of course the commercial versions to like Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions.

  5. Bringing serverless to containers
    In 2019, Google announced Cloud Run. This was, in essence, a managed Knative. Now, Cloud Run doesn't run on Kubernetes, but it is Knative Serving API compliant. This means that you could take a standard Knative YAML manifest and use it to deploy your containers to Cloud Run with no issue.

  6. A serverless platform for building event-based microservices.
    The FaaS platform gained a lot of popularity which resulted in many competitors. There was OSS providers like OpenFaaS or Fission. There were of course the commercial versions to like Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions.

  7. A powerful platform to build web and mobile apps that scale automatically.
    In 2008, Google launched AppEngine. This product predates the formal existence of Google Cloud and can be considered Google Cloud's first offering.

  9. Serverless, also known as FaaS (Function-as-a-Service), is a new approach to application development. FaaS is a form of serverless computing with an infrastructure managed by the provider to upload functions and use them on a pay-per-request basis.
    The FaaS platform gained a lot of popularity which resulted in many competitors. There was OSS providers like OpenFaaS or Fission. There were of course the commercial versions to like Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions.

  10. Easily run application containers in the cloud with a single command. Azure Container Instances lets you get started in seconds and lower your infrastructure costs with per-second billing.
    This model was so successful that we started to see others create competitors such as AWS Fargate and Azure Container Instances.

  11. Automatic, event-driven compute service

    • Open Source
    On this day, we both first learned about Lambda. This was the world's first public Functions-as-a-Service platform, better known as FaaS. They told us that this was the next evolution in Cloud Computing. With Lambda, you could now host snippets of code on AWS. There were no more idle workers, and you could auto-scale with minimal additional configuration required. Also, these snippets were event-driven by nature. This was a fully serverless platform.

  12. AWS Fargate is a compute engine for Amazon ECS and EKS that allows you to run containers without having to manage servers or clusters.
    This model was so successful that we started to see others create competitors such as AWS Fargate and Azure Container Instances.

  13. Amazon Web Services offers reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing services. Free to join, pay only for what you use.
    In 2006, Amazon launched EC2 and S3 which was the foundation of the first major cloud platform, AWS. Amazon decided to essentially provide their users with storage and virtual machines to operate. They had excess servers in their datacenters and saw this as an opportunity to make some extra money.
