WASI Preview 2 officially launched! After a vote in the WASI Subgroup of the W3C WebAssembly Community Group, the standard set of interfaces included in the launch of Preview 2, aka WASI 0.2.0, is ready for use by library implementers. We've been closely tracking the different release candidates of WASI 0.2.0 over the last 6 months, and wasmCloud will update its runtime WIT definitions to the pinned versions in just a few days.

If you’ve been following anything in the Cloud Native space right now, chances are that you’ve heard of WebAssembly (Wasm). As someone who works at a Wasm company, it should come as no surprise that I think Wasm is the future of software development. But, let’s be honest, you probably aren’t going to just dismiss Kubernetes and go all-in on the first Wasm-related project you find.

At Cosmonic, we’ve always believed it important that Wasm and wasmCloud (the soon-to-be incubating CNCF project we contribute to and help maintain) are compatible with, but not dependent on any pre-existing technology. Guided by that principle, we have long provided integrations with Kubernetes, as most people operating in the cloud native ecosystem are running in or integrated with it. What has been interesting to see is how people are choosing to integrate with it. This post outlines a couple of ways to integrate Wasm with Kubernetes, and it gives a clue as to why we’ve designed our platform to integrate with Kubernetes the way it does. With that in mind, let’s dive in!

An examination of how wasifills—a component adapter pattern like polyfills, but for components—can help bridge the gap between today's rapidly changing standards landscape and the future of interoperable components facilitated with wit and wit worlds. It's an amazing time to be on the bleeding edge of the WebAssembly adoption curve, but it's not without risk.
