Over the past few months, a number of discussions and proposals on the list have popped up on the list proposing varying degrees of architectural changes to OpenWhisk. And, we have a large number of deployment options with varying levels of maintenance.
With that in mind, I'd like to kick off a thread to gather some data about OpenWhisk deployments in the wild. If you run some flavor of OpenWhisk - whether straight Apache OpenWhisk or something based on it - please answer as many of the questions below as you feel comfortable doing. Please indicate whether your answers are for development, testing, or production environments. Feel free to answer more than once for different environments. Where do you deploy OpenWhisk? On bare metal, VMs, Kubernetes, Mesos, OpenShift, something else? In private datacenters? A cloud provider? How do you deploy OpenWhisk? Related to the where, but what kind of tooling do you use for the deployment itself? Why did you choose those environments and deployment methods? Are you satisfied with those choices? Is there anything you'd like to see change in OpenWhisk to better support your deployment and operational needs? Is there anything else about your environments that would be helpful for the community to know? Thank you in advance! Ben
