Hi, all

This project update is posted bi-weekly, but feel free to get in touch in
#openstack-qinling anytime.


   - Function package md5 check. This feature allows user specify the md5
   checksum for the code package when creating the function, so the
   function package could be verified after downloading. If CLI is used, the
   md5 checksum will be calculated automatically.
   - Function webhook. The user can expose a function to 3rd party
   service(e.g. GitHub) by creating webhook so that the function can be
   invoked without authentication.
   - [CLI] Support to download function code package.


BTW, maybe some of you already know that Qinling team is applying to become
an OpenStack official project[1], feel free to leave your comments in the
application, any feedback and questions are welcomed.

As usual, you can easily find previous emails below.

Hi, all

Maybe there are aleady some people interested in faas implementation in
openstack, and also deployed other openstack services to be integrated with
(e.g. trigger function by object uploading in swift), Qinling is the thing
you probably don't want to miss out. The main motivation I creatd Qinling
project is from frequent requirements of our public cloud customers.

For people who have not heard about Qinling before, please take a look at
my presentation in Sydney Summit:
https://youtu.be/NmCmOfRBlIU
There is also a simple demo video:
https://youtu.be/K2SiMZllN_A

As the first project update email, I will just list the features
implemented for now:

- Python runtime
- Sync/Async function execution
- Job (invoke function on schedule)
- Function defined in swift object storage service
- Function defined in docker image
- Easy to interact with openstack services in function
- Function autoscaling based on request rate
- RBAC operation
- Function resource limitation
- Simple documentation

I will keep posting the project update by-weekly, but feel free to get in
touch in #openstack-qinling anytime.
