At #KubeConEU, NVIDIA introduced GPU support for Kata Containers, extending hardware acceleration into a stronger isolation, separating workloads for increased security and enabling AI workloads to run with enhanced protection
Kata Containers
#KataContainers is an open source project delivering the security of VMs with the speed of containers. https://katacontainers.io/
Supported by @OpenInfra@social.openinfra.dev
This article highlights how Kata Containers adds VM-level isolation to Kubernetes, helping cloud providers and enterprises run sensitive and AI workloads with greater security, without changing developer workflows.

As the cloud-native ecosystem continues to evolve, new workloads, especially those driven by AI agents, require secure, isolated, and flexible execution environments.
Today, Google introduced Agent Sandbox, a new CRD and Operator that aims to standardize the management of stateful, isolated workloads through a declarative API in #Kubernetes and includes Kata Containers support, bringing VM-backed isolation and strong workload boundaries to the Agent Sandbox ecosystem.
