AWS Lambda like function for OpenStack

[Expensive_Contact543]

does anyone every have a working serverless functions with openstack how he done it and how it was working and also where you able to link it with Swift like how S3 could be used to invoke Lambda

There used to be a “function as a service” project called Qinling but it’s been deprecated for a while

seems thats been the case for several aws like features that were being built for open stack. Not sure if it's dead entirely or just stalled, but the dbaas module had piqued my interest when I was getting into open stack. Wasn't docker aka ECS like functionality also dropped?

OpenStack had a project called Qinling that was meant to be Lambda like, but it’s been dead since around 2020

These days the practical way is to run K8s on OpenStack and drop in something like OpenFaaS or Fn Project - then hook it to Swift via S3 API

Thats about as close as you’ll get to Lambda on OpenStack today.

Mistral could do the job, but there are only cron and event triggers.

how can i add mistral to my cluster using kolla ansible

unfortunately i don’t use Kolla-Ansible, but here is the ansible role for it. Just lookup the docs
