Nuvolaris is as a distribution of the Apache OpenWhisk serverless engine that runs in every Kubernetes

Welcome to Nuvolaris!

Nuvolaris is an Open Source project to build a complete and portable Serverless environment that runs in every Kubernetes.

Technically it is a distribution of Apache OpenWhisk released under the Apache Licence 2.0 (like OpenWhisk itself), that includes other services out of the box.

We want to build a complete distribution of a serverless environment that:

  • It is easy to install and manage.
  • Potentially runs in every Kubernetes.
  • It is tested regularly against a set of supported Kubernetes environments.
  • Includes a (possibly large) number of integrated services.

This is the main differentiation from Apache OpenWhisk, as it only provides a basic engine for serverless. Our goals are described in our roadmap document to read about.
