OpenWhisk can be started using Docker Compose locally with a single command (make quickstart) using this repo: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-devtools/tree/master/docker-compose https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-devtools/tree/... It can also be deployed on k8s with minimal effort: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-deploy-kube https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-deploy-kube There's also instructions for using VMs as the infrastructure layer: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk#quick-start https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk#quick-start If you have any issues open an issue or join us on the slack (http://openwhisk.incubator.apache.org/slack.html http://openwhisk.incubator.apache.org/slack.html).
