From 0 to working serverless URL for a containerized app -- Google cloud run

Ever wondered if you could run your web application container on a serverless platform? Wait no further with the recent Google cloud run release it is already possible. You can get from 0 to a working serverless URL for a containerized app in no time. Till now there was nothing that married the goodness of serverless with container's ease. Cloud run also makes deploying new versions very easy with its web interface. This talk will be a run through of deploying and running a simple nodejs app on google cloud run in a matter of minutes.

2nd speaker:

Customised Serverless with Containerised Azure Functions and Kubernetes.

In this session we’ll look at two serverless-related topics:

1) Building your own customised Azure Functions image using Docker, and how to use it in your resulting Azure Functions environment.

2) Take a look at the Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling (KEDA) capability that Microsoft is developing in conjunction with Red Hat. KEDA introduces a native source-aware event-triggers to Kubernetes using the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) to deploy and scale Azure Function containers, including scaling to or from zero instances.
