WebAssembly as a Common Layer for the Cloud-edge Continuum. (arXiv:2206.12888v1 [cs.DC])

Over the last decade, the cloud computing landscape has transformed from a
centralised architecture made of large data centres to a distributed and
heterogeneous architecture embracing edge and IoT units. This shift has created
the so-called cloud-edge continuum, which closes the gap between large data
centres and end-user devices. Existing solutions for programming the continuum
are, however, dominated by proprietary silos and incompatible technologies,
built around dedicated devices and run-time stacks. In this position paper, we
motivate the need for …
