Edge Evolution: Orange's Edge Strategy with WebAssembly & CNCF WasmCloud
summary
Orange is adopting WebAssembly and CNCF wasmCloud to push rating and billing logic out to 184 Points of Presence across 31 countries, claiming real-time balance updates instead of batch processing. Implementation uses wasm modules deployed with wasmCloud, an event‑sourced event store for distributed state, and a distributed ratings agent prototype (code on GitHub) that reduces latency and enables on‑the‑fly cutting of service; tradeoffs include state replication choices and the need for hardware attestation and maturity around NFV on Kubernetes.
