Meshery Extensions are plugins or add-ons that enhance the functionality of the Meshery platform beyond its core capabilities. Meshery supports different types of extensions (docs):

• Adapters: Adapters allow Meshery to interface with the different cloud native infrastructure.
• Load Generators: for performance characterization and benchmarking
• Integrations: model-based support for a broad variety of design and orchestration of cloud and cloud native platforms, tools, and technologies.
• Providers: for connecting to different cloud providers and infrastructure platforms
• UI Plugins: Meshery UI has a number of extension points that allow users to customize their experience with third-party plugins.
• CLI Plugins: Helm and kubectl plugins that let you create Kanvas snapshots from Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, and the current state of your Kubernetes cluster, then upload them to Meshery.

Function 4: Embeded Meshery Design

Meshery Design Embedding (docs](https://meshery.io/extensions)) enables you to export a design in a format that can be seamlessly integrated into websites, blogs, or platforms supporting HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This embedded version provides an interactive representation of the design, making it easier to share with infrastructure stakeholders.
