Execute OpenWhisk action via Ignite and Firecracker VM (pr #4556)
Hi Team,
Seeing the recent Weave Ignite announcement [1] I tried to implement a
quick prototype for integrating it with OpenWhisk [2].
So far the results are good and OpenWhisk can create and launch
ignite/firecracker based vm for action invocation. Currently the cold
startup times have few issues due to late binding of node service
within the vm. Also the logs part does not work. However apart from
that other aspects work ok.
It is a promising technology and we can possibly explore it more for
integrating it with OpenWhisk to provide more secure execution
environment.

Indeed the ContainerFactory abstraction has so far worked well for
many cases like Mesos, YARN, Ignite, AWS Lambda etc. Makes it easier
to plugin any new execution approach easily.

Great stuff Chetan! The quick impl. also shows our abstractions kinda work.
That makes me happy too :).

Great work Chetan
This must be a new record how fast to get a POC integrated in a few days
after ignite being announced
