Mirantis + Iron.io: Bringing Serverless Computing to OpenStack

Serverless Computing is about deploying event-triggered, containerized applications into a framework that knows how to queue and pass jobs to them, manage inputs and outputs, and scale them up and down. First made popular by Amazon&;s Lambda service, the paradigm is simpler and more limited than PaaS, but offers many of the same benefits. It&8217;s gaining popularity swiftly in support of IoT (Internet of Things), media processing, and many other use-cases requiring agility, reliability, and scale.
For the past several months, Mirantis and Unlocked Partner Iron.io have been collaborating to validate Iron.io&8217;s multi-component job/message-queueing and serverless compute framework on Mirantis OpenStack, and to develop methods for simplifying deployment in stand-alone and hybrid configurations.
Last month, Iron.io completed validation of a Murano app that installs IronMQ locally on a Mirantis OpenStack 8.0 cluster, and will shortly release another Murano app that deploys the IronWorker core framework.
On Tuesday, August 2nd, 2016, we conducted a webinar with Iron.io, summarizing progress, and demoing Iron.io&8217;s recently-validated IronMQ hosted service, and soon-to-be-validated IronWorker core framework on Mirantis OpenStack. Featuring Iron.io engineer Douglas Coburn, the conversation went fairly deep into Iron.io&8217;s architecture, WebUI and tools, and developer and operator experience, and concluded with a lengthy live Q&A with attendees.
