Hi :wave:

I'm new to wasm and particularly interested in wasm based containers. Is there any software out there designed to create wasm containers and run them? I saw wasmer, but I don't think thats what wasmer is(?)

Hi @kennetpostigo. There have been forays into implementing something like a containerd shim on top of a wasm runtime, but i haven't seen anything active in that space lately. I think the biggest project to supplant containers in favor of wasm is Krustlet (https://github.com/deislabs/krustlet) that attempts to reimplement k8s' kubelet in terms of a wasm runtime rather than a container runtime.
