Multiplayer Istio: Collaborative WASM Plugins with Intel and Layer5
summary
Shows how Meshery plus Istio actually deploy and manage Envoy WASM filters: a live demo uploads filters to a Meshery catalog, composes a visual design, deploys Istio, and publishes WASM filters to clusters so they can be dynamically loaded and unloaded. Covers filter chaining, image pull policy and versioning, and running perf tests; Intel demonstrates hardware offload like Intel QAT TLS offload and a ModSecurity-based WAF path. The demo deploys successfully and exposes config, lifecycle, and collaboration gaps.
