Rust, Kubernetes, and the Cloud
summary
Claims Rust reduces memory-safety CVEs and yields fewer bugs; shows concrete tooling: azure sdk for rust (alpha, not on crates.io) using tokio and reqwest to list Cosmos DB databases, and Krustlet on AKS runs WebAssembly modules from ACR. Demos include deploying Krustlet via an ARM template, running a hello-world WAZI Rust module, and a 400-line kube operator built with the kube crate and derive macros. Notes: async story is young, cargo and features aid packaging, builds can be slower.
