Evaluating Apache OpenWhisk - FaaS

EasyChair Preprint 2577

Abstract

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms enable users to execute user-defined functions without worrying about operational issues such as the management of infrastructure resources. In order to improve performance, different FaaS platforms are implementing optimizations and improvements, but it’s not clear how good these implementations are. In this work, Apache OpenWhisk platform is evaluated from an approach that allows to determinate and characterize the performance under different configuration options; it was found that under certain premises an improvement of the performance in cold-booting latencies up to 38% is to obtain.

Keyphrases: Cloud Computer, FaaS, OpenWhisk, Performance
