OpenWhisk on Mesos

["Boldt, Tim (GE Digital)" <Ti...@ge.com>]

Is anyone using (or experimenting with) OpenWhisk on Mesos?

I see a 3-month old discussion (https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-devtools/issues/17) and a month-old PR (https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-devtools/pull/20). However, when I tried it, I had to hack it quite a bit to get it to work for me.

If anyone else has gotten OW working on Mesos, I’d love to hear about your experiences.

Hi Tim,

Great to see more interest in running OpenWhisk on Mesos.

With the deployment structure in the PR (https://github.com/apache/inc
ubator-openwhisk-devtools/pull/20), we have our OW instance running on
DC/OS. Basically, we wrap each service in a DC/OS package and publish a
dedicated universe for it. A deployment means launching those services from
the pre-defined packages and apply your apigateway config to set up the
server endpoint.

Currently one of the main limitations is with the Invoker service: it
independently manages resources for running action containers on a single
node and does not communicate back to Marathon, hence Marathon is unable to
make proper decision on allocating its resources. Some ideas to solve this
were discussed in a previous thread [1].

I have updated the PR which works well for us with the latest OpenWhisk
images. It is still blocked by a Jenkins job for building the
"whisk-couchdb" image (currently it's using a manually built couchdb
version). When it is ready we should be good to merge.

Would love to hear if you have more ideas / suggestions to this approach.

Thanks,
Duy
