> OpenWhisk
>
> OpenWhisk is an open source, distributed Serverless computing platform able
> to execute application logic (Actions) in response to events (Triggers)
> from external sources (Feeds) or HTTP requests governed by conditional
> logic (Rules). It provides a programming environment supported by a REST
> API-based Command Line Interface (CLI) along with tooling to support
> packaging and catalog services. Additionslly, it now provides options to
> host the platform components as Docker containers on various Container
> Frameworks such as Mesos, Kunernetes, and Compose.
> OpenWhisk has been incubating since 2016-11-23.
>
> Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:

>
> 1. Est. release process for ZIP of source code
> 2. Est. release process for Docker and other platform binaries
> 3. Increase additional company and individual Contributors to maintain

> - It had been our intent to have Apache host our staging (and move it
> out of disparate private builds within various companies). However, INFRA
> indicates they only typically allocate 1 VM per project for use with demos
> and minor things. They indicated that typically a donation is in order
> (ala. Spark).
> -- Note: the desire for this staging capability was expressed in the
> Incubator submission where we anticipated needing ~12 VMs to host each
> platform component and be able to load balance/schedule Functional code as
> part of the OpenWhisk Serverless (across multiple supported language
> runtimes). This would also be needed to effectively test auto-scaling/load
> balancing and container pools and to get accurate performance test measures.
> - Formal hand-off of OpenWhisk trademark/logo from IBM needs to be
> executed; need to identify process for this.
>
> How has the community developed since the last report?
>
> - First substantive design changes allowing for Service Provider
> Interfaces (SPIs) developed within Apache community (dev list, WIki, etc.).
> - Established bi-weekly Zoom "Technical Interchange" calls that have
> been well received.
> Complete videos posted to OW YouTube channel and detailed notes to
> our CWIKI.
> - Kubernetes on OpenWhisk work hosted a few ad-hoc to continue design
> discussions (CWIKI has designs and comments)
> for how best to move away from Ansible deployments to
> self-configuring, autoscalable containers (for use in Kube, Mesos, Compose,
> etc.).
> - Increased interest/list/Slack traffic in general due to experiment
> Kube work, as it is applicable to Mesos, etc.
> - Increased community discussions (design topics, features) of
> substance moved to dev list.
>
> How has the project developed since the last report?
>
> - incubator-openwhisk Github stars: 1928
> - incubator-openwhisk GitHub forks: 417
> - Movement to become more "pluggable" via Service Provider Interfaces
> (SPI), several PRs that are ongoing.
> - So far there are now interfaces for MessagingProvider.scala,
> ArtifactStoreProvider.scala
> and proposals for others such as LogStore, ContainerFactory,
> LoadBalancer,
>
> Sig. PRs:
>
> - initial work on no root ansible #2669
> This allows to deploy with no sudo/root access. Significant to
> enable Kube/Mesos deployments.
> - Simplify Spi implementations. #2663
> Service Provider Interfaces (SPI) become more mature as patterns
> emerge.
> Healthy discussion/growth area for project to allow most components
> to become (eventually) pluggable
> (e.g., Log, Trace, Container build, Load Balancing, Scheduler,
> Routing, Message Queue, etc.)
> - Apply standard scala formatting #2650
> Coding/linting standards debated/agreed to by community (and CI
> automated enforcement encoded)
> - Allow multiple controllers and invokers in local environments #2633
> implement a ContainerPool which is completely independent of the
> underlying container driver to facilitate testing and extensibility.
> More improvements to allow different pooling of invoker containers
> based upon different application use case
> (new ideas generated in community) including requirements for diff.
> scheduling/co-tenanting,/user responsiveness (http), etc. needs.
>
> Sig. discussions (dev list):

> - Release for OpenWhisk
