Today’s meeting is a special livestream from KubeCon!
Speaking at the Project Pavilion at KubeCon NA 2024, Brooks notes that wasmCloud is now Incubating at the CNCF and introduces the fundamentals of the project: Wasm-native orchestration and building Wasm components with capabilities.
In his demonstration of wash dev, Brooks shows how to begin a development loop, build a new component, and swap out capabilities, illustrating wasmCloud's deny-by-default design for capabilities.
For those in the audience new to WebAssembly and wasmCloud, Brooks also discusses the contrast between swappable capability providers and abstraction from dependencies in wasmCloud with similar ideas in infrastructure-as-code.
In wasmCloud, there's no need to inspect actual code—the same Wasm binary that you're deploying encodes all the information you need about its requirements.
This is exactly how wash dev is able to satisfy common capability requirements automatically in your developer loop—the process can inspect your requirements and then choose appropriate providers to satisfy them.
For many of those in the live audience at KubeCon, this is your first wasmCloud community meeting—we hope to see you again soon! You can also join us on the wasmCloud Slack!
