WebAssembly (or WASM) holds the promise of improving container technologies with a truly universal runtime, tightly sealed security, and lighting-fast execution times.
It is already possible to run WASM modules on Kubernetes but there are also adoption challenges - the path to an operational WASM module is nowhere near as straightforward as for OS containers, the WASI initiative is still under heavy development and some standard features, such as networking, are still in the proposal stage.
Is WASM ready for Kubernetes?
To answer this question - watch Saiyam Pathak, the field CTO at CIVO who has just released an introductory course on WASM and Ant Weiss (who’s also a long-time WASM fanboy) discuss the advantages of WebAssembly for the cloud-native ecosystem and the challenges on the way to its adoption.
Session Overview
What you will learn:
- The origins of WebAssembly- Why it matters for the Kubernetes ecosystem
- How WASM improves application performance, security, and cost.
- How to orchestrate WebAssembly modules on Kubernetes
Who is this webinar for:
- Developers of high-performance applications
- Performance-minded DevOps engineers
- Anyone curious about what’s next in container tech
