Istio 1.9 introduced experimental support for WebAssembly (Wasm) module distribution and a Wasm extensions ecosystem repository with canonical examples and use cases for extension development. Over the past 9 months, the Istio, Envoy, and Proxy-Wasm communities have continued our joint effort to make Wasm extensibility stable, reliable, and easy to adopt, and we are pleased to announce Alpha support for Wasm extensibility in Istio 1.12! In the following sections, we’ll walk through the upda...| Istio Blog
Originally posted on the Solo.io blog As organizations adopt Envoy-based infrastructure like Istio to help solve challenges with microservices communication, they inevitably find themselves needing to customize some part of that infrastructure to fit within their organization’s constraints. WebAssembly (Wasm) has emerged as a safe, secure, and dynamic environment for platform extension. In the recent announcement of Istio 1.5, the Istio project lays the foundation for bringing WebAssembly t...| Istio Blog

As outlined in the Istio 2020 trade winds blog and more recently announced with Istio 1.5, WebAssembly (Wasm) is now an (alpha) option for extending the functionality of the Istio service proxy (Envoy proxy). With Wasm, users can build support for new protocols, custom metrics, loggers, and other filters. Working closely with Google, we in the community (Solo.io) have focused on the user experience of building, socializing, and deploying Wasm extensions to Istio. We’ve announced WebAssembly...| Istio Blog
