<ul><li>WebAssembly (Wasm) is a low-level binary instruction format that provides a lightweight, high-performance, and secure execution environment in web browsers and non-browser environments.</li><li>In DevOps, WebAssembly enables high-performance, lightweight microservices, consistent execution across platforms, enhanced security with sandboxed execution, lower resource consumption compared to traditional VMs or containers, and improved edge computing capabilities.</li><li>WebAssembly follows a modular architecture with bytecode format, a virtual machine (VM), the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) for system-level capabilities, and runtimes like Wasmtime, Wasmer, and wasmCloud to execute Wasm modules outside the browser.</li><li>WebAssembly offers benefits such as portability, security, performance, interoperability, and scalability for DevOps engineers, and is used in various use cases including microservices, serverless computing, edge computing, CI/CD pipelines, and API gateways. It has been adopted by companies like Fastly, Cloudflare, and Shopify.</li></ul>
