  In recent years, there has been a surge in the adoption of serverless
computing due to the ease of deployment, attractive pay-per-use pricing, and
transparent horizontal auto-scaling. At the same time, infrastructure
advancements such as the emergence of 5G networks and the explosion of devices
connected to Internet known as Internet of Things (IoT), as well as new
application requirements that constrain where computation and data can happen,
will expand the reach of Cloud computing beyond traditional data centers into
Hybrid Cloud. Digital transformation due to the pandemic, which accelerated
changes to the workforce and spurred further adoption of AI, is expected to
accelerate and the emergent Hybrid Cloud market could potentially expand to
over trillion dollars. In the Hybrid Cloud environment, driven by the
serverless tenants there will be an increased need to focus on enabling
productive work for application builders that are using a distributed platform
including public clouds, private clouds, and edge systems. In this chapter we
investigate how far serverless computing can be extended to become Hybrid
Serverless Computing.
