Building Hyperlight with a WebAssembly runtime provides a powerful platform that allows any programming language to run in a secured micro-VM. Developers can compile their programs targeting the wasm32-wasip2, avoiding the burden of runtime considerations. This integration improves both performance and security, as Microsoft claims that Hyperlight does less work compared to traditional virtual machines. Future plans include extending support for Arm64 processors and improving portability using WASI, along with default bindings for WASI interfaces, enhancing versatility across different environments.
Building Hyperlight with a WebAssembly runtime allows programs written in any language to run securely in a micro-VM without requiring prior Hyperlight knowledge.
Microsoft aims to achieve enhanced security and performance with Hyperlight by having less overhead compared to traditional VMs while offering strong isolation for Wasm workloads.
Developers can focus on coding without worrying about underlying runtimes, as programs compiled for the wasm32-wasip2 target run seamlessly on various platforms.
Hyperlight Wasm's future plans include support for Arm64 processors and enhanced portability through WASI bindings, making it versatile across multiple operating systems.
