@davinci26 I hope you are interested in this!

I am super excited to be working on this feature! I am looking into this thread of work into more detail.

For now I will focus on:

1. Making the project more portable, taking into consideration Envoy's limitation on Windows
2. Figure out the design and how the feature will be tested on CI/Locally
3. A PoC using private Windows binaries.

I would encourage anyone who is interested in the feature to subscribe here and I will keep the issue updated as I make more progress.
