consider using AWS Controllers for Kubernetes for deploying serverless.

Service name

HAAr Team (HMPPS Auth) - email domain validation (to be developed)

Service environment

• [ ] Dev / Development
• [ ] Staging
• [ ] Prod / Production
• [X] Other

Impact on the service

This has currently no impact on the service, but the team would like us to consider whether we could incorporate serverless technology into the cloud platform.

Problem description

We are looking for an easier way to leverage serverless (FaaS) since this would give us benefits of clean small code footprint and a cheaper run on resources.

I came across this article which describes a potential approach to supporting this from the K8s cluster. I think it could have some potential to allow leverage of cloud native approaches for our architecture. I appreciate that this has been tried with other technologies.

I'm sure there could be some constraints put around auth, logging and instrumentation that could be incorporated into any proof of concept, and would give you another offering other than a container based pod approach. AWS does also offer the availability of using container based functions, if needed.

I look forward to your response :)
