Agenda

Meeting Notes

First up, a very warm welcome to Lucas Fontes who joins the infrastructure team at Cosmonic. Welcome! We're stoked to have you here. Lucas is from Brazil but lives in Canada. He is a seasoned infrastructure engineer with expertise in K8s, Heroku, Salesforce and much more.

DEMO: wasmcloud-operator with Joonas and Lucas

  • wasmcloud-operator repo
  • There's also a handy blog about how we integrated the wasmcloud-operator into the wasmCloud project.
  • As always there is only so much we can share in notes and so please check out the recording below for the full discussion and Q&A.
  • We making a bit easier to get going and so we have an update PR that introduces a new examples directory.
  • The main thing to note is we have simplified host-signing. All we need is the lattice name, the version of wasmCloud, and the NATS cluster. This removes a host of extra, unnecessary steps.
  • In here will be local examples—the first one is a Quickstart that takes you through the steps you take to get the operator set up.
  • Take a look at the recording for the step-by-step guide. This is a great practical introduction to getting started with the wasmcloud-operator! Try it out for yourself and let us know what you think at wasmcloud.slack.com.

Go, Go, GO!
