Use Kubernetes and kind to Manage WebAssembly Apps

This article is based on Sven Pfennig’s presentation at the WasmEdge Community Meeting in Jan 2022. Pfennig discussed why and how to run WebAssembly apps in a Kubernetes cluster. Using kind and WasmEdge, he showcased a simple solution. Please watch the original video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oumohWVgSI&t=493s Background kind is Kubernetes In Docker, that is, to deploy all the components required by Kubernetes in a docker container. kind is a simple and easy-to-use version of Kubernetes, often used in local testing use cases.…

A lightweight, safe, portable, and high-performance runtime for Dapr

originally published on infoQ.com Key takeaways: Dapr is a versatile framework for building microservices. WebAssembly VMs, such as WasmEdge, provide high-performance and secure runtimes for microservice applications. WebAssembly-based microservices can be written in a number of programming languages, including Rust, C/C++, Swift, and JavaScript. WebAssembly programs are embedded into Dapr sidecar applications, and hence can be portable and agnostic to the Dapr host environment. The WasmEdge SDK provides an easy way to build microservices for Tensorflow inference.…

Second State joins the Autoware Foundation

Second State has joined the Autoware Foundation as an industry member. Through collaboration with the Foundation and member organizations, Second State aims to create and promote an open-source virtualization runtime for Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs). According to a recent paper on IEEE Spectrum, a typical car has 50+ software vendors. Traditional automotive engineering keeps those heterogeneous software components safe via hardware isolation. That is to enclose each vendor’s software in its own hardware known as an ECU.…

🥳 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.…
