+# General
+
+**Status**: [Experimental](../../document-status.md)
+
+This document defines how to describe an instance of a function that runs without provisioning
+or managing of servers (also known as serverless functions or Function as a Service (FaaS)) with metrics.
+
+The conventions described in this section are FaaS (function as a service) specific. When FaaS operations occur,
+metric events about those operations will be generated and reported to provide insights into the
+operations. By adding FaaS attributes to metric events it allows for finely tuned filtering.
+
+**Disclaimer:** These are initial FaaS metric instruments and attributes but more may be added in the future.

+## Metric Instruments
+
+The following metric instruments MUST be used to describe FaaS operations. They MUST be of the specified
+type and units.
+
+### FaaS Invocations
+
+Below is a table of FaaS invocation metric instruments.
+
+| Name | Instrument | Units | Description |
+|------|------------|----|-------------|
+| `faas.invoke_duration` | Histogram | milliseconds | Measures the duration of the invocation |
+| `faas.init_duration` | Histogram | milliseconds | Measures the duration of the function's initialization, such as a cold start |
+| `faas.coldstarts` | Counter | default unit | Number of invocation cold starts. |
+| `faas.errors` | Counter | default unit | Number of invocation errors. |
+| `faas.executions` | Counter | default unit  | Number of successful invocations. |
+| `faas.timeouts` | Counter | default unit | Number of invocation timeouts. |
+
+Optionally, when applicable:
+
+| Name | Instrument | Units | Description |
+|------|------------|----|-------------|
+| `faas.mem_usage` | Histogram | bytes | Distribution of max memory usage per invocation |
+| `faas.cpu_usage` | Histogram | milliseconds | Distribution of cpu usage per invocation |
+| `faas.net_io` | Histogram | bytes | Distribution of net I/O usage per invocation |
+
+## Attributes
+
+Below is a table of the attributes to be included on FaaS metric events.
+
+| Name | Recommended | Notes and examples |
+|------|-------------|--------------------|
+| `faas.trigger` | Yes | Type of the trigger on which the function is invoked. SHOULD be one of: `datasource`, `http`, `pubsub`, `timer`, `other` |
+| `faas.invoked_name` | Yes | Name of the invoked function. Example: `my-function` |
+| `faas.invoked_provider` | Yes | Cloud provider of the invoked function. Corresponds to the resource `cloud.provider`. Example: `aws` |
+| `faas.invoked_region` | Yes | Cloud provider region of invoked function. Corresponds to resource `cloud.region`. Example: `us-east-1` |
+
+More details on these attributes, the function name and the difference compared to the faas.invoked_name can be found at the related [FaaS tracing specification](../../trace/semantic_conventions/faas.md).
+For incoming FaaS executions, the function for which metrics are reported is already described by its [FaaS resource attributes](../../resource/semantic_conventions/faas.md).
+Outgoing FaaS executions are identified using the `faas.invoked_*` attributes above.
+`faas.trigger` SHOULD be included in all metric events while `faas.invoked_*` attributes apply on outgoing FaaS execution events only.
