Hyperlight WASM: Fast, secure, and OS-free
We're announcing the release of Hyperlight Wasm: a Hyperlight virtual machine “micro-guest” that can run wasm component workloads written in many programming languages. Learn more.
Last fall the Azure Core Upstream team introduced Hyperlight: an open-source Rust library you can use to execute small, embedded functions using hypervisor-based protection. Chances are that your current production application expects a Linux operating system running on the x86-64 architecture (hardware), not a bare linear slice of memory. WASI and the WebAssembly Component Model provide a middle ground between these contrasting abstractions: by implementing these interfaces, one can allow any lightweight execution environment to run programs written in (nearly) any language.
