In OpenWhisk you can use generic docker image (--docker) but unless the images are in the runtimes.json they have scalability limited to 2.
I believe this limitation is because originally docker images where pretty inefficient but since there is the actionloop sdk this is no more the case. I propose just to remove this limitation allowing images created with --docker run as the others so people can use any custom runtime without having to redeploy with a new runtimes.json https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/issues/5543 Michele Sciabarra | CEO m: +44 747 984 8388 e: mich...@nuvolaris.io l: https://linkedin.com/in/msciab Nuvolaris Inc | 1209 Orange Street , Wilmington DE www.nuvolaris.io [image: linkedin icon] <https://www.linkedin.com/company/nuvolaris-io> [image: youtube icon] <http://bit.ly/nuvtube> [image: twitter icon] <https://twitter.com/NuvolarisIo>
