> It doesn't address all the stuff that container orchestration tools address such as lifecycle management, update management, artifact management, autoscaling, networking, management access control, logging & metrics, etc. Absolutely agree, it's just a core technology, which enables new model of operation, on which all that is necessary to run. Right now there is almost nothing. > If you want to start faster than containers, you already can — by not using containers. Only if don't care about security/isolation. WASM is strongly sandboxed. It's appropriate for multi-tenant systems, where containers/jvm/etc have to be run inside of virtual machines(e.g. firecracker) to get acceptable isolation. > I suppose that's too slow for serverless cold start Yep, half a second is way too slow for new instance per request. I think wasm startup time around 35 μs for lucet.
