I don’t understand how WebAssembly compares with Kubernetes. It seems like WebAssembly is a nice replacement for JVM / CLR but it does not provide standards for service orchestration.


I'd say that article compares WebAssembly to Docker/moby/other container runtimes, not k8s.


Even so, the scope is different. I don’t use WebAssembly to define networks. Limiting privilege within the WebAssembly runtime is weaker than limiting it at the OS namespace.


It depends on specific WASM runtime implementation, but usually you have to be explicit about allowing each syscall.
