#Kubeless - Create

Creates a new Serverless service in the current working directory based on the provided template.

Create service in current working directory:

serverless create --template kubeless-python

serverless create --template kubeless-nodejs

Create service in new folder:

serverless create --template kubeless-python --path my-service

serverless create --template kubeless-nodejs --path my-service

#Options

• --template or -t The name of one of the available templates. Required if --template-url and --template-path are not present.
• --template-url or -u The name of one of the available templates. Required if --template and --template-path are not present.
• --template-path The local path of your template. Required if --template and --template-url are not present.

#Available Templates for Kubeless

To see a list of available templates run serverless create --help

These are the current available templates for Kubeless:

• kubeless-nodejs
• kubeless-python

#Examples

#Creating a new Serverless service

serverless create --template kubeless-python --name my-special-service

This example will generate scaffolding for a service with kubeless as a provider and python2.7 as runtime. The scaffolding will be generated in the current working directory.

The provider which is used for deployment later on is Kubeless.

#Creating a named service in a (new) directory

serverless create --template kubeless-python --path my-new-service

This example will generate scaffolding for a service with kubeless as a provider and python2.7 as runtime. The scaffolding will be generated in the my-new-service directory. This directory will be created if not present. Otherwise Serverless will use the already present directory.

Additionally Serverless will rename the service according to the path you provide. In this example the service will be renamed to my-new-service.

#Creating a new service using a local template

serverless create --template-path path/to/my/template/folder --path path/to/my/service --name my-new-service

This will copy the path/to/my/template/folder folder into path/to/my/service and rename the service to my-new-service.
