Extending Istio Waypoints with Envoy Filters

July 23, 2025 12:00PM ET/9:00AM PT

Istio Waypoints offer powerful Layer 7 traffic management and security capabilities for the Ambient Mesh — but how can you extend them to meet your specific needs? Should you use WebAssembly (Wasm) or stick with Envoy filters? What changes are required to adapt your existing Envoy filters for use with Waypoints? And when something goes wrong, how do you effectively troubleshoot?

Join us for Part 3 of our Ambient Mesh Webinar Series to learn how users are extending Istio Waypoints using Envoy Filters in Gloo Mesh. Hear directly from our Istio experts who are helping customers successfully adopt Istio Ambient in production environments.
