With the rise of remote and hybrid work arrangements, the need for secure connections and information transfer has never been higher. Even with company-issued devices, employees can still work from anywhere on any network, leaving themselves and the company vulnerable to cyberattacks. Serverless infrastructure is designed to provide functionality to a globally-distributed user base, which makes it a natural solution to managing a potentially globally-distributed workforce. In this paper, we propose a serverless software-defined networking (SDN) controller in C++ that implements a subset of the OpenFlow 1.0 specifications. We describe a software development kit (SDK) in C++ that will enable a user with minimal coding knowledge to create and customize their own SDN controllers and policies, freeing them from the limitations of a specific hardware configuration and enabling better overall performance.
