Disrupting the Downtime Continuum - Taylor Thomas & Brooks Townsend, Cosmonic

At this point in Cloud Native development, many people run headlong into the “day 2” operational headaches that come with running containers at scale. One of the most frustrating is handling dependency patching and version migration. We’ve all been there. A vulnerability is released and thus begins a frantic scramble to patch hundreds of container images and release them everywhere. WebAssembly and wasmCloud offer a better way! This demo-heavy talk will start with a brief introduction to WebAssembly and what it can enable. Then we will discuss how wasmCloud leverages WebAssembly to make creating and running an application at scale a breeze. We’ll then demonstrate downtime-free migration, patching, and failover between clouds live on stage with no changes to configuration or code.
