An OpenFaaS COBOL Template

COBOL template

This is a COBOL template for OpenFaaS.

Instructions

Get the template by running the command:

faas-cli template pull https://github.com/devries/openfaas-cobol-template

Create a new COBOL project using the command:

faas-cli new --lang cobol coboltest --prefix="<your-docker-username-here>"

The coboltest directory will contain a handler program which reads 25 characters from Standard Input and writes "HELLO " followed by the input. If the input is empty or all spaces, the program writes "HELLO WORLD".

Build the function:

faas-cli build -f coboltest.yml

Push the function to docker hub:

faas-cli push -f coboltest.yml

And deploy the function:

faas-cli deploy -f coboltest.yml```

Once the function is up and running on your Kubernetes cluster, you can test it out.

$ echo "" | faas-cli invoke coboltest
HELLO WORLD
$ echo "CHRIS" | faas-cli invoke coboltest
HELLO CHRIS
