## AI overview

wasmCloud 2.7 introduces bidirectional host component plugins, concurrent pooled instances, and multi-backend binding by default. It also adds workload-level HTTP connection pooling, raw-socket quotas, opt-in egress policies, configurable CA trust, and updated Helm chart CRDs.

## Source excerpt

wasmCloud 2.7 makes host component plugins bidirectional (plugins can call workload exports), multiplies warm-instance capacity with maxConcurrency, enables multi-backend binding by default, and hardens workload networking with quotas and private CA trust.
