help runwasi FAQ
What problem does runwasi solve in Kubernetes?
runwasi lets Kubernetes run WebAssembly workloads through containerd using specialized Wasm runtimes. This gives teams a way to deploy Wasm modules with Kubernetes-style scheduling and management.
Is runwasi a container runtime or a Kubernetes distribution?
runwasi is a set of containerd shims and related tooling for running WebAssembly workloads, not a separate Kubernetes distribution. It connects containerd and Wasm runtimes such as Wasmtime or WasmEdge.
Which WebAssembly runtimes can runwasi use?
The runwasi project has supported integrations with runtimes including Wasmtime and WasmEdge. The exact runtime depends on the shim and configuration used by the Kubernetes or containerd installation.
Why would a developer use runwasi instead of a normal Linux container?
WebAssembly modules can have small footprints and fast startup times for suitable workloads. They do not replace Linux containers for every application, especially software that depends on a full operating system or broad native libraries.
