## Better VM support
For those of you who are adding non-Kubernetes workloads to meshes (for
example, workloads deployed on VMs), the new
[WorkloadEntry](/docs/reference/config/networking/workload-entry/) resource
makes that easier than ever. We created this API to give non-Kubernetes
workloads first-class representation in Istio. It elevates a VM or bare metal
workloads to the same level as a Kubernetes pod, instead of just an endpoint
with an IP address. You now even have the ability to define a Service that is
backed by both Pods and VMs. Why is that useful? Well, now you now have the
ability to have a heterogeneous mix of deployments (VMs and Pods) for the same
service, providing a great way for migrating VM workloads to the mesh.
Expanding support for VM-based workloads was another theme we called out
in our roadmap post, and you can expect to see more in this area over the
coming releases.
## Other improvements
There are great traffic management features (like supporting the experimental
Kubernetes Service APIs, better support for Ingress, and better header
handling).
