Introduction

Krustlet

Krustlet is a tool to run WebAssembly workloads natively on Kubernetes. Krustlet acts like a node in your Kubernetes cluster. When a user schedules a Pod with certain node tolerations, the Kubernetes API will schedule that workload to a Krustlet node, which will then fetch the module and run it.

Krustlet implements the kubelet API, and it will respond to common API requests like kubectl logs or kubectl delete.

If you’d like to learn how to deploy Krustlet on your own cluster (or if you’re just getting started), follow the quickstart guide for instructions on deploying your first Kubernetes cluster.

In order for your application to run on a Kruslet node, the application must be compiled to WebAssembly and pushed to a container registry. If you’d like to learn more about how to write your own WebAssembly module in Rust and deploy it, follow through the tutorial to deploy your first application.
