About this talk

This talk introduces container2wasm, a CNCF Sandbox project designed to run unmodified Linux-based containers on WebAssembly (Wasm) environments. The speaker, Kohei Tokunaga, who is a founding maintainer of container2wasm, discusses the challenges of porting applications to Wasm due to its incompatibility with Linux and how the project addresses these issues by utilizing CPU emulators, including QEMU-based emulation. Participants will gain insights into the latest updates and advancements in making container technology more portable across diverse Wasm runtimes.
