WebAssembly System Interface (WASI)
Brian Sletten
FORWARD LEANING SOFTWARE ENGINEER @ BOSATSU CONSULTING
01 / ABOUT THIS SESSION
WebAssembly is one of the most disruptive technologies hitting our industry in quite some time. It gives us the capacity to write portable code that can truly run everywhere.
Applications themselves are still tied to the APIs that they use, however. WASI extends the value proposition of the WebAssembly ecosystem to include application-level portability as well a vision for sandboxing that could materially help both our software portability and malware concerns.
The combination of benefits provides a vision of the future that might not require Docker in the mix.
This talk will explain:
- What WebAssembly brings to the table as far as code portability
- What WASI brings to the table as far as application portability
- Functional Sandboxing to increase security profiles
- The WASI Package Manager (WAPM)
- Various WASI Runtimes targetting different architectural use cases
- What Intel, Red Hat, Mozilla and more are doing with the
Bytecode Alliance focusing on how WebAssembly and WASI can
bring around secure programming platforms meeting the needs of
developers and service providers
