The Rusty Boat

Explore a comprehensive conference talk on Krustlet, a Kubernetes Kubelet implementation for running WASM modules written in Rust. Dive into the journey of developing full Kubernetes functionality in Rust, understanding the rationale behind choosing this programming language and its advantages and challenges. Examine practical code examples from Krustlet to learn how core Kubelet components were built from scratch, leveraging community crates for gRPC, controllers, and volume mounting. Gain insights into implementing traits, handling asynchronous operations, establishing API contracts, creating plugin systems, and managing state machines in Rust for Cloud Native projects. Discover the potential of Rust in Cloud Native development through this informative presentation by Matt Butcher and Taylor Thomas from Microsoft.
