The Future of Green Cloud: Serverless WebAssembly on Arm64 Architecture

Learn about sustainable cloud computing in this technical talk exploring how WebAssembly and Arm64 architecture can reduce carbon emissions in serverless applications. Discover how software carbon intensity (SCI) is impacted by both operational and embodied emissions, and explore solutions to minimize environmental impact through efficient computing practices. Examine the advantages of WebAssembly's sub-millisecond startup times over traditional MicroVMs and containers, while understanding its platform-agnostic nature that enables optimal green architecture deployment. Dive into the significant power efficiency benefits of Arm64 CPUs, which consume 2.8x less power than x86_64 counterparts. Follow along with practical demonstrations of deploying serverless WebAssembly applications on Kubernetes using open-source tools like Spin and SpinKube, gaining hands-on knowledge for implementing cost-effective and environmentally conscious cloud solutions.
