Qinling is a small team for now but we did have +made significant improvements and enhancements during Rocky, e.g. support TLS +communication with k8s API server, support untrusted runtime so that Qinling +can leverage the security container technology such as Kata container and +gVisor to run untrusted functions, we also add function alias support to make +it easy to invoke the function for the function consumers. Additionally, +Qinling documentation also has improved a little bit thanks to all the +contributors. + +Although there are a bunch of competitors to Qinling in serverless area +especially in k8s ecosystem, the main difference between Qinling and other +solutions is OpenStack is always the first citizen in Qinling's world, support +the integration with other OpenStack services is always our first priority. So +we won't compete with other FaaS projects and we don't care. + +So speaking of Stein, I'd like to take some time to focus on the next set of +challenges to make Qinling production ready as soon as possible(it's also an +internal goal in my own team): + +- Continue to work on the runtime security issue +- High availability of qinling-api and qinling-engine +- More intelligent execution scale algorithm + +Besides, all other contributions to Qinling are welcomed. + +Thank you all for taking a moment to read what I have to say. + +Lingxian Kong
