Phippy’s Field Guide to Wasm

2:05 - 2:35 PM ET ; Epic Hall Room

The creators of the original Illustrated Children’s Guide to Kubernetes have written a fourth book, this time ​focused on the emerging technology that is WebAssembly. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s 2022 ​Annual Survey identified WebAssembly as the fastest growing cloud native trend. As with previous books, we ​broach a complex technical topic with a fun and friendly format designed for all skill levels. On their camping ​trip with Blossom the Wasm Possum, Phippy and Zee’s adventures illustrate the basics of Wasm, introduce ​key terminology, and frame how it compliments existing cloud technologies like containers and Kubernetes. ​Additionally, we'll provide a technical overview of Wasm, latest updates to the ecosystem, and details on ​where to find the community.
