title: Adapters
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Adapters are plug-ins to [Mixer](/docs/reference/glossary/#mixer), Istio's [policy and telemetry](/docs/reference/config/policy-and-telemetry/) component, which enable it to interface
|
|
with an open-ended set of infrastructure backends that deliver core functionality, such as logging,
|
|
monitoring, quotas, ACL checking, and more.
|
|
The exact set of adapters used at runtime is determined through configuration and can easily be
|
|
extended to target new or custom infrastructure backends.
