Function Cookbook

Introduction

Qinling function lets you execute your code in a serverless environment without having to first create a VM or container. This cookbook contains several examples for how to create functions in Qinling.

Examples

Create python function with libraries in a package

This guide describes how to create a python function with libraries in a package and how to invoke the function in a Python runtime(the steps assume there is already a Python 2.7 runtime available in the deployment).

The function resizes an image which stores in Swift and uploads the resized image to a new container with a same object name. For the function to work, a python library called Pillow needs to be installed together with the function code, the python-swiftclient doesn't need to be installed because Qinling supports it as a built-in library in Qinling's default Python 2.7 runtime implementation.

The function needs two positional parameters:

  • container_name: The container name in Swift that the original image file is stored in.
  • object_name: The object name in the container.

There is no output for the function itself, but you can check the function execution log to see the whole process.

Note

The following process has been tested in a Devstack environment in which Swift is also installed.

  1. Create a directory, for example ~/qinling_test

    $ mkdir ~/qinling_test
  2. Write a custom python code for resizing an image at the root level of the directory created above.

    $ cat <<EOF > ~/qinling_test/resize_image.py
    import os
    
    from PIL import Image
    import swiftclient
    from swiftclient.exceptions import ClientException
    
    
    def resize_image(image_path, resized_path):
        with Image.open(image_path) as image:
            image.thumbnail(tuple(x / 4 for x in image.size))
            image.save(resized_path)
    
    
    def main(context, container_name, object_name):
        conn = swiftclient.Connection(
            session=context['os_session'],
            os_options={'region_name': 'RegionOne'},
        )
    
        # Download original image
        image_path = os.path.abspath('./%s' % object_name)
        _, obj_contents = conn.get_object(container_name, object_name)
        with open(image_path, 'w') as local:
            local.write(obj_contents)
    
        print('Downloaded object %s from container %s' % (object_name, container_name))
    
        thumb_path = os.path.abspath('./%s_resized.png' % object_name)
        resize_image(image_path, thumb_path)
    
        print('Resized.')
    
        # Create new container if needed
        new_container_name = '%s_resized' % container_name
        try:
            conn.head_container(new_container_name)
        except ClientException:
            conn.put_container(new_container_name)
            print("New container %s created." % new_container_name)
    
        # Upload resized image
        with open(thumb_path, 'r') as new_local:
            conn.put_object(
                new_container_name,
                object_name,
                contents=new_local,
                content_type='text/plain'
            )
        os.remove(image_path)
        os.remove(thumb_path)
    
        print('Uploaded object %s to container %s' % (object_name, new_container_name))
    EOF
  3. Install the python libraries necessary for the program execution using pip. The libraries need to be installed at the root level of the directory.

    pip install module-name -t path/to/dir

    In this example, we would install the library Pillow in the project directory.

    $ pip install Pillow -t ~/qinling_test

    Note

    Qinling's default Python runtime includes most of the OpenStack project SDKs, so you don't need to include python-swiftclient in your function code package, but you can optionally include it for your local testing.

  4. Add the contents of the whole directory to a zip file which is now your function code package. Make sure you zip the contents of the directory and not the directory itself.

    $ cd ~/qinling_test; zip -r9 ~/qinling_test/resize_image.zip .
  5. Create function and get the function ID, replace the runtime_id with the one in your deployment.

    $ runtime_id=601efeb8-3e41-4e5c-a12a-986dbda252e3
    $ openstack function create --name resize_image \
        --runtime $runtime_id \
        --entry resize_image.main \
        --package ~/qinling_test/resize_image.zip

  6. Upload an image to Swift.

    $ curl -SL https://docs.openstack.org/arch-design/_images/osog_0001.png -o ~/origin.jpg
    $ openstack container create origin_folder

    +----------------+---------------------------------------+
  7. Invoke the function by specifying function_id and the function inputs as well.

    $ openstack function execution create $function_id --input '{"container_name": "origin_folder", "object_name": "image"}'
    +------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Field            | Value                                                       |

    | id               | 04c60ae7-08c9-454c-9b2c-0bbf36391159                        |
    | function_id      | d3de49fc-7488-4635-aa48-84e754881eb8                        |
    | function_version | 0                                                           |
    | description      | None                                                        |
    | input            | {"object_name": "image", "container_name": "origin_folder"} |
    | result           | {"duration": 2.74, "output": null}                          |
    | status           | success                                                     |
    | sync             | True                                                        |
    | project_id       | a1e58c83923a4e2ca9370df6007c7fe6                            |

    | updated_at       | 2018-07-03 09:12:16                                         |
    +------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
  8. Check the function execution log.

    $ openstack function execution log show 04c60ae7-08c9-454c-9b2c-0bbf36391159
    Start execution: 04c60ae7-08c9-454c-9b2c-0bbf36391159
    Downloaded object image from container origin_folder
    Resized.
    New container origin_folder_resized created.
    Uploaded object image to container origin_folder_resized
    Finished execution: 04c60ae7-08c9-454c-9b2c-0bbf36391159
  9. Verify that a new object of smaller size was created in a new container in Swift.

    $ openstack container list
    +-----------------------+
    | Name                  |
    +-----------------------+
    | origin_folder         |
    | origin_folder_resized |
    +-----------------------+
    $ openstack object list origin_folder_resized
    +-------+
    | Name  |
    +-------+
    | image |
    +-------+
    $ openstack object show origin_folder_resized image
    +----------------+---------------------------------------+
    | Field          | Value                                 |
    +----------------+---------------------------------------+
    | account        | AUTH_a1e58c83923a4e2ca9370df6007c7fe6 |
    | container      | origin_folder_resized                 |
    | content-length | 31779                                 |
    | content-type   | text/plain                            |
    | etag           | f737cc7f0fe5c15d8a6897c8fe159c02      |
    | last-modified  | Tue, 03 Jul 2018 11:46:40 GMT         |
    | object         | image                                 |
    +----------------+---------------------------------------+

    Pay attention to the object content-length value which is smaller than the original object.
