We are excited to have our December Virtual CNCF Meetup with a great talk!
WebAssembly and Kubernetes! - Ralph Squillace, Prinicipal Product Manager @ Microsoft
Kubernetes is the JavaScript of orchestrators: you may not love it, but you use it and so does everyone else -- it’s darned useful! But the future cloud-native world is not going to be “on” hypsercale clouds -- the future chips are going to “circumference” or “peripheral” clouds. This is the famous “edge”, where the next 6-8 years are likely to see more than $1 trillion spent on CDN, private data centers, tons of gateways, and millions and billions of arduinos and raspberry-pis and risc-v SoCs are going to be doing everything from Home Assistant to industrial automation. Kubernetes doesn’t really function well here--or does it? This talk will describe how Kubernetes CAN be the core orchestrator for our future edge-overlords, why WebAssembly is likely to aid that usage, and will have tons of quick demos to show how it feels.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone before the end of 2022!

Ralph Squillace is a Prinicipal Product Manager in the Azure Core Upstream group at Microsoft. He's old, having joined Microsoft in the OLE32 group -- before COM, just after Win16 graduated to Win32. Since then he's worked in component development in .NET, WCF (SOAP for professionals!), and several Azure Services. An early advocate for Linux at Microsoft, he spent the last twelve container years helping the Helm project, supporting https://porter.sh and https://cnab.io, and others. For the past two or more years he's led Microsoft open-source efforts in WebAssembly at the ByteCode Alliance Foundation, focusing on the Wasm System Interface, Wasm Components, and language integrations. It's his team's work that enables Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service to execute wasm modules in addition to containers. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/use-wasi-node-pools)
