Keynote: Wasm: A Revolution for Browsers, Containers, and the Cloud

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Describes Docker’s 2019 experiments with WebAssembly/WASI after Solomon Hykes’ famous tweet and claims that Wasm and WASI can run side-by-side with x86 containers rather than replace them. Highlights concrete primitives kept from containers: build-share-run workflow and content-addressable storage for secure build artifacts. States Docker’s posture as runtime-neutral, reports active wasm sandbox projects and integration experiments, and commits to help transition millions of developers to ship Wasm-based apps.
