In this lesson, we explore how WebAssembly (Wasm) is reshaping cloud computing by extending its capabilities well beyond the browser. You’ll discover:
  • A deep dive into leading Wasm runtimes and their architectures
  • Strategies for integrating Wasm with Docker, Kubernetes, and other cloud-native platforms
  • Practical, hands-on examples of packaging and running Wasm modules inside Docker containers
  • An overview of powerful frameworks like WasmCloud and the Fermyon Spin framework
WebAssembly isn’t limited to client-side applications anymore. In cloud environments, Wasm delivers portability, security, and performance for microservices and serverless workloads.
By the end of this section, you’ll be equipped to deploy and manage WebAssembly functions alongside Docker and other CNCF-style tools, leveraging the most popular runtimes and frameworks driving the future of cloud-based Wasm.
