The closest way to visualize it is probably how cloudflare offers something kind of like a container (if you squint) via it's workers product. https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-wasi-on-workers/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-wasi-on-workers/ I assume the merit for cloudflare is lower overhead cost per worker than if they had done something more like AWS lambda.

It does currently present a lot of restrictions as compared to what you could do in a container. But it's good enough to run lots of real world stuff today.
