Kubernetes, mark II? Why Google’s giving away gVisor, a code sandbox used by Anthropic and OpenAI
Google wants to emulate one of its biggest ever open-source success stories, donating three core AI agent infrastructure projects to The post Kubernetes, mark II? Why Google’s giving away gVisor, a code sandbox used by Anthropic and OpenAI appeared first on The New Stack .
Google is donating three crucial AI agent infrastructure projects—gVisor, Agent Substrate, and OpenRL—to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to potentially become industry standards, much like Kubernetes did for containers. This move is part of Google's strategy to tackle security concerns surrounding autonomous AI agents, which can execute code and interact with external systems.
In July, OpenAI's models accidentally breached Hugging Face's production infrastructure, emphasizing the difficulty of containing increasingly capable AI agents. Drew Bradstock, VP of product management for Kubernetes and orchestration at Google, believes that these donations will boost the development and adoption of agentic workloads, similar to the impact Kubernetes had.
By placing these technologies under neutral governance, Google hopes to encourage wider industry participation, fostering growth and adoption both within and beyond Google.
