Shivakumar Gopalakrishnan

Shivakumar Gopalakrishnan is DevOps architect at Varian Medical Systems. He has introduced Docker, Kubernetes, and other cloud-native tools to Varian product development to enable "Everything as Code". He has years of software development experience in a wide variety of fields, including networking, storage, medical imaging, and currently, DevOps. He has worked to develop scalable storage appliances specifically tuned for medical imaging needs and has helped architect cloud-native solutions for delivering modular AngularJS applications backed by microservices. He has spoken at multiple events on incorporating AI and machine learning in DevOps to enable a culture of learning in large enterprises. He has helped teams in highly regulated large medical enterprises adopt modern agile/DevOps methodologies, including the "You build it, you run it" model. He has defined and leads the implementation of a DevOps roadmap that transforms traditional teams to teams that seamlessly adopt security- and quality-first approaches using CI/CD tools. He holds a bachelor of engineering degree from College of Engineering, Guindy, and a Master of Science degree from University of Maryland, College Park.

Events and serverless functions

Serverless functions mainly use events to trigger their invocation. While the following invocation is useful for testing and debugging purposes, it is not really useful for other purposes. Serverless functions excel when they are run on demand and, in general, as part of some automation triggered by events. Calling them manually, as we are doing in the following code, is useful only for testing and debugging purposes:

kubeless function call hello --data 'Hello world!' -n serverless

To be really useful, we need the ability to trigger it through events. One of the easiest ways to integrate our serverless functions with events is to use Azure Event Hubs. In this section, we will integrate Azure Event Hubs with our serverless functions. We will be using Azure Functions to call our serverless function.

There are multiple ways that a function...
