The future is serverless, part 2

What this post added

This post identifies and categorizes challenges in achieving a serverless future, focusing on technical aspects like compute resource optimization, service latency reduction, event-driven design, workflow standardization, and security enhancements. It discusses the need for improvements in cloud system components (e.g., Kubernetes, Knative) to support dynamic scaling, reduce overhead, and manage security in a more distributed environment. Specific areas mentioned include optimizing pod allocation, enabling node suspension, externalizing service flow events, addressing event storms, standardizing serverless execution and event models (e.g., CloudEvents), and developing common workflow languages. Security challenges related to increased attack surfaces and fading network boundaries are also addressed, with a mention of Knative's approaches like revision management and security monitoring.
