Will Envoy Proxy support Hyperlight? #37109

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.

[optional Relevant Links:]

Current state of WASM - https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/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.
