Kubernetes adapts to AI agents with sandboxes and warm pools

CNCF reports two-thirds of organizations running AI inference do so on Kubernetes. The community is working on sandboxing agents and warm pools that revive them in milliseconds instead of seconds, though built-in support is not yet complete.

• Two-thirds of organizations running AI inference use Kubernetes, per CNCF
• Agents live for seconds while pod startup takes seconds, driving warm pools
• Isolation requires going beyond containers to VMs and the host OS
• KubeCon + CloudNativeCon runs in Salt Lake City on November 9–12
