Faas: Integration: Hyper.sh provider

[alexellis]

Research item - help wanted from Hyper.sh or community.

Hyper functions can access each other via DNS so this may be a viable option for folks who are into what Hyper offers.

[Gnep]

Cool, will check.

Also, https://github.com/hyperhq/hyper-connector-k8s, a quick change on the aci-k8s-connector. Maybe a unified API interface for swappable backend drivers?

[alexellis]

It would be great if you could try that out. Do you work on Hyper? Want to chat on Slack? email [email protected]

Hi Alex,

Let me discuss with our engineering team. I'm the CEO of Hyper, therefore I'm more of a talking head, instead of actual developer :)

[alexellis]

@Gnep I had an email from Song on your team about about starting work on this. Let me know if I can help in any way.

@Gnep - I think this will be of use to your team, it makes implementing the code easier:

Please email me or ping on Slack with any questions.

[Gnep]

Thanks. Song is working on the integration right now. I'll ask him to follow up with you guys here.

@alexellis Thanks for the working, we will take a look and apply to our provider.

@imeoer @Gnep I gave some feedback here - https://github.com/hyperhq/faas-hyper/issues/1

Here are a couple of working screenshots 🍾 👍 💯

I deployed the following functions

1. functions/alpine:latest
2. functions/nodeinfo:latest

The deployment works great, and I was able to test the functions on Hyper.sh

The invocation count however on the OpenFaaS portal does not seem to work.

Thank you for testing @vivekjuneja ! Here's what it looks like with metrics working: https://github.com/hyperhq/faas-hyper/issues/2

What else is needed to close this issue?

[alexellis]

Hey @iampeterbanjo are you thinking of helping out for Hacktoberfest? I think you'd need to compare notes with @Gnep and Song Yong over on their repo - http://github.com/hyperhq/faas-hyper

Testing would be good as a starting point 👍

[iampeterbanjo]

hi @alexellis yes I'm thinking of contributing as part of Hacktoberfest. Looking at Hyper's repo what's left seems to be adding new features so I think I might be getting in over my head :-)

[alexellis]

We have other areas that might be easier for you to get involved with. Please browse issues here and on the openfaas/cli project.

[iampeterbanjo]

Ok thanks, I'll do that.

Commented on https://github.com/hyperhq/faas-hyper/issues/1 as well, but is there a canonical faas-cli example with this?

[alexellis]

Have not heard from Hyper in a few months. No feedback on open issue so assuming inactive. Will close issue. cc/ @Gnep
