    From VMware to OpenStack: How Open Source is Rebuilding the Virtualization Landscape

    A year ago, Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware disrupted the global virtualization market where VMware previously held 40% market share. Since then, over 80% of OpenInfra Foundation members have received requests from organizations to migrate workloads from VMware to OpenStack. Tune in to see how some of the world’s IT organizations have responded, backed by open source communities like OpenStack and StarlingX. Our panel will include industry experts from Canonical, Mirantis, Rackspace and Wind River, and will be moderated by Jonathan Bryce, executive director of the OpenInfra Foundation.

    The AI Challenges Zuul Already Solved

    The AI industry has largely focused on containers and Kubernetes as the foundation for modern AI platforms. But agentic AI introduces a fundamentally different challenge: running autonomous, tool-enabled software that can interact with systems, execute code, and make decisions on behalf of users. These are not just applications—they are untrusted workloads operating with unprecedented levels of access.In this episode, we explore why OpenStack is becoming a critical layer for safely operating agentic AI at scale. Drawing on real-world deployments supporting advanced AI infrastructure, we'll discuss how OpenStack's virtualization model provides stronger tenant isolation, encrypted storage, and fine-grained resource scheduling for GPUs and accelerators. We'll examine how technologies like Nova Scheduler, PCI passthrough, and Cyborg enable efficient allocation of high-performance AI hardware—including preserving high-speed NVLink connectivity between GPUs—while maintaining the security boundaries required in multi-tenant environments.The conversation also explores a growing architectural pattern: Kubernetes running AI applications on top of OpenStack virtual machines. While containers remain ideal for application delivery, OpenStack provides the infrastructure isolation layer needed when AI agents themselves become potential attack vectors. We'll discuss the tradeoffs between bare-metal Kubernetes, virtual machines, and emerging approaches such as Kata Containers, and why many operators view virtualization as the safer default for agentic workloads.As AI moves from inference to autonomous action, the question is no longer how to run models—it's how to securely run software you don't fully trust. This episode examines why OpenStack may already have the answer.

    AI Agent Sandboxes: Securing Memory, GPUs, and Model Access

    AI agents introduce a fundamentally different risk profile than traditional microservices or batch workloads. With access to models, memory, tools, external APIs, and sometimes direct execution capabilities, agents can observe, reason, and act in ways that expand the attack surface far beyond standard containerized applications. The question is no longer just how to scale AI, but how to securely contain it.In this live discussion with leaders from Ant Group, NVIDIA, Google, and the Linux Foundation, we’ll explore why traditional container isolation may be insufficient for agent-based systems, and what changes when agents have memory persistence, filesystem access, GPU acceleration, or external execution authority. We’ll examine how approaches like Kata-based agent sandboxes provide lightweight VM isolation to restrict runtime behavior, minimize host visibility, and reduce cross-session risk, including emerging concerns like GPU memory leakage.From runtime guardrails and privilege boundaries to telemetry capture and performance trade-offs, this session will unpack what “secure-by-design” means for AI agents. Finally, we’ll look ahead: will agent virtualization become a standard layer of AI infrastructure, and are sandboxes destined to become a universal requirement for production AI platforms?
