kube32 Launches: Kubernetes-Compatible Runtime for ESP32 Microcontrollers
- Supports managing ESP32 hardware clusters with standard kubectl and k9s, reducing learning curves
- Uses WebAssembly (wasm3) as the Pod runtime, enabling cross-language deployment (Rust/C/AssemblyScript)
- Provides a host simulator (kube32-sim) for local development and testing on macOS/Linux
