Managing WebAssembly Applications Using Docker and k8s Tooling

on YouTube ↗34m

" summary

WebAssembly runs side-by-side with Docker by making the runtime OCI-compliant and swapping the container runner: a CrunW drop-in crun replacement detects WASM images and launches WasmEdge via CRI-O so images can sit on Docker Hub and be pulled by Kubernetes. WasmEdge uses LLVM AOT and QuickJS-backed JavaScript with custom Rust host APIs, adds WASI sockets for long-running HTTP services, and exposes gas metering for fine-grained resource control; cold starts remain a motivating metric (many Lambda functions exceed 800 ms).
