Description
Goal:
Create a command that installs OpenFaaS in a default configuration suitable for development, proofs of concepts and demonstrations.
The command should support:
- Docker swarm
- Kubernetes
Possible goal:
Design solution that is extensible / pluggable for other provider maintainers. Maybe use something like https://github.com/hashicorp/go-plugin and have the installer for each provider in a separate process, or the faas cli just calls the provider installer:
Non-goal:
Implement installation for other providers:
- fargate
- nomad
- etc....
Expected Behaviour
Default
faas-cli install
Installs OpenFaaS on Docker Swarm
Platform argument
faas-cli install -p k8s
or
faas-cli install -p swarm

Research direction
Start by reading the faas-cli command structure and the proposed faas-cli install behavior. Compare the Docker Swarm default with the -p k8s platform option, then evaluate the mentioned go-plugin and os/exec approaches for provider installers. Done means a defined, extensible install design supporting Swarm and Kubernetes.
