Level 3 | ICC Capital Suite 17

The ability to contribute to the project has been limited by the need to understand the project code base. Introducing plugins in the project will make it possible for new contributors to extend the project without understanding the entire project.

The XRAY command in the project is used to scan container images to extract useful container insights. It's a great place to introduce plugins because there's always more to analyze. It will also make it easier to integrate with other CNCF projects to provide additional analysis capabilities and to provide valuable data for those projects.

There are different plugin designs with each own set of pros and cons. A WASM-based plugin system will make it possible to create plugins in different languages contributors are more familiar with and it won't be limited to people who know Go.

No low level SlimToolkit, container tech or WASM expertise is required. You only need basic Go and interest in learning WASM libraries (e.g, Wazero, Extism, waPC)
