Will Envoy Proxy support Hyperlight?

Title: Envoy Proxy extension with Hyperlight micro-VMs

Description:

Envoy Proxy allows certain extension points like Go filters, WASM, etc. With the recent release of https://github.com/hyperlight-dev/hyperlight, this is a question to the community if this is something Envoy should support? It could benefit as yet another fast extension point for Envoy which can be safer than WASM.

Current state of WASM - #35420

There are currently no plans to add hyperlight. We will accept it as a contribution if you have resources to implement this.

I am not sure KVM privilege makes sense as a requirement for Envoy, especially when it runs sandboxed in containers.

Not actively being worked on / supported today, but we do have it on the Proxy-Wasm roadmap because we are excited about the cheaper (thread-level) sandboxing: proxy-wasm/spec#74

Progress on the Hyperlight side is periodically discussed in the Proxy-Wasm community meeting, and the notes are linked from here: https://github.com/proxy-wasm/community.
