Krustlet

Open Source

Run WebAssembly workloads natively within Kubernetes clusters.

About Krustlet

Krustlet is an open-source Kubelet implementation written in Rust that enables Kubernetes clusters to run WebAssembly (Wasm) workloads. It listens to the Kubernetes event stream for new pods assigned by the scheduler based on specific tolerations, allowing Wasm workloads to be scheduled alongside traditional containerized applications. This capability extends Kubernetes' native orchestration to emerging WebAssembly technology, offering enterprises a lightweight, secure, and efficient way to deploy cloud-native applications.

Designed for organizations leveraging Kubernetes for cloud infrastructure, Krustlet targets cloud architects and infrastructure teams seeking to integrate Wasm workloads into their existing environments. Its primary value lies in enabling the execution of Wasm modules with Kubernetes' robust scheduling and management features, facilitating innovation in cloud-native development while maintaining operational consistency. As a Cloud Native Computing Foundation sandbox project, Krustlet is experimental but represents a forward-looking approach to hybrid workload orchestration.
