A Rust library and set of containerd shims that let containerd run WebAssembly/WASI workloads directly or via Kubernetes through the CRI plugin. It ships shims for Wasmtime, WasmEdge, Wasmer, and WAMR runtimes.
Use cases
- run wasm workloads in kubernetes pods
- run wasi modules with containerd and ctr
- build a custom containerd shim for a wasm host
- run webassembly containers instead of full VMs
- schedule wasm apps via kubelet CRI
When to choose
- you want to run WASI workloads under containerd or Kubernetes
- you need a Rust library to integrate a wasm host with containerd
- you want to pick among Wasmtime, WasmEdge, Wasmer, or WAMR shims
When to avoid
- you need general-purpose container orchestration without wasm
- you run wasm outside containerd/Kubernetes ecosystems
- you need a standalone wasm runtime CLI
