https://2022.ubucon.asia/sessions/webassembly-ubuntu-containers-the-power-couple/ As the upcoming cloud technology, WebAssembly (Wasm) has attracted attention. To handle important backend functions, WebAssembly, also known as WASM, is transitioning from a portable contained browser runtime. The language neutrality, cross-platform/architecture support, security sandbox, small binary sizes, and excellent performance of WebAssembly make it a promising technology. Taking advantage of these advantages, several of us have started creating Wasm solutions that are cloud-based and run on servers rather than web browsers. What makes it so interesting is the fact that the WASM container is secure, efficient, portable and fast - at least on the paper it looks like the better implementation of containers. Wasm is incorrectly marketed as a “replacement for Docker,” whereas Wasm actually strengthens Docker. It has some capabilities that Docker (Linux Containers) lacks but lacks many of the featur
