WebAssembly Aims to Eliminate the File SystemCategory: Software, Data, Kubernetes, container, yaml
The latest plans for the Web Assembly System Interface (WASI) aims to, over time, do away with the file system, and possibly even the operating system as well, according to a Qcon talk held in May by Lin Clark, a senior principal engineer at the edge services platform Fastly, as well as a co-founder of the WASI Bytecode Alliance.
WebAssembly is a compilation target, and not a programming language,” explained Liam Randall, co-founder of the WasmCloud framework, in a session at KubeCon+CloudNativeCon EU, a virtual conference held last month.
To do this, and in order for code to run fast, it needs to be as closely tailored to the specific processor architecture as much as possible.
There will be lots of optimizations that can be enjoyed with this architecture, once WASI is aware of the I/O types that it is handling, she explained.
Kubernetes best practices policy is to write user permission policies-as-code, as declarative syntax that can be ingested by machines.
