Project Title and brief description
OpenFaaS - Serverless Functions Made Simple for Kubernetes an Docker
How does the open source community benefit from your work?
I'd like to test cold-start times of functions (scale from zero) and throughput of I/O intensive machine-learning functions. I'd also like to test the round-tip time for a Git to URL workflow - i.e. latency between code committed to GitHub to Docker image being produced, pushed into a repository and then pulled and deployed on a worker.
Is the code that you’re going to run 100% open source? If so, what is the URL or URLs where it is located?
Note that the configuration provided was created to enable testing flexibility across a range of potential use cases. Projects are expected to use one system due to limited supply. If additional resources are required, contact avi@packet.net
What performance-focused articles has your project published before?
Is your project intensely interested in performance, especially where disk I/O is concerned? Have you written about it or shared results of testing? Please share anything that shows your focus.
Please state your contributions to the open source community and any other relevant initiatives
Feel free to brag a little bit about yourself!
Would you be willing to share your analysis and results publicly?
We are interested in blog posts, meetups and conference presentations. Accelerate With Optane would be more than happy to host your blog posts or link to them, and may coordinate performance-oriented meetups and conferences. Are you open to sharing?
Yes
Are you interested in testing Intel Optane SSDs with Intel Memory Drive Technology (IMDT)?
IMDT extends system memory transparently by integrating Intel Optane SSD capacity into the memory subsystem. The systems provided have 192GB of DRAM but can be enabled with 1.4TB of software-defined memory while leaving one Intel Optane SSD still available for fast storage/caching usage. Check here for more information on IMDT.
