What If... Kube-Apiserver Could be Extended Via WebAssembly? - Flavio Castelli, SUSE

Dynamic Admission Controllers are currently the only way to extend the Kubernetes API Server to implement security and conformance policies. They work great, but they also have drawbacks. How would it be to have a flexible way to extend the built-in admission controllers that doesn’t resort on Webhooks? This talk will show a prototype that leverages WebAssembly as a way to enrich the Kubernetes API Server capabilities. What if this is just the beginning of extending Kubernetes core pieces with WebAssembly? Do you want to join us in this experiment?
