IBM has announced new features for OpenWhisk, the event-driven and open serverless cloud computing platform built for Bluemix public cloud service.
“Since we’ve built OpenWhisk with open standards, it’s able to not only help resolve many problems associated with server management, but also gives developers the flexibility to pull in outside tools and data and run code wherever they choose.”
said Bill Karpovich, general manager for IBM Cloud, in a statement.
