WebAssembly on Kubernetes: from containers to Wasm (part 02)

By Seven Cheng Community post by Seven Cheng | View part one here In the previous article, I gave an overview of Wasm’s features and advantages. I also explained how to run Wasm modules within container environments. In this article, I will guide you through building and deploying Wasm applications in the Cloud Native ecosystems. You’ll need: a login to Docker Hub (you can also adapt the walkthrough to use a different container image registry.…

WebAssembly on Kubernetes: from containers to Wasm (part 01)

Community blog by Seven Cheng WebAssemly (Wasm) was originally created for the browser, and it has become increasingly popular on the server-side as well. In my view, WebAssembly is gaining popularity in the Cloud Native ecosystem due to its advantages over containers, including smaller size, faster speed, enhanced security, and greater portability. In this article, I will provide a brief introduction to WebAssembly and explain its advantages. Then I will discuss how Wasm modules can be executed using container toolings, including low-level container runtimes, high-level container runtimes, and Kubernetes in the next article.…

🥳 WasmEdge (formerly SSVM) is now a CNCF Project

The WasmEdge Runtime (formerly SSVM) is a lightweight and high-performance WebAssembly (WASM) VM optimized for edge computing. It is widely used in scenarios ranging from cloud serverless functions, SaaS, blockchain smart contracts, IoT, to automotive real time applications. WasmEdge has recently been accepted by the CNCF Foundation as a sandbox project, which is the world's first official CNCF WebAssembly runtime project. We envision that it will fill an important role in CNCF’s open source cloud computing landscape as a mission critical lightweight runtime for edge clouds.…
