NVIDIA Donates OpenShell Agent Security Runtime to CNCF

NVIDIA used KubeCon + CloudNativeCon to contribute its OpenShell runtime for securing autonomous agents to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, where it lands as a Sandbox project governed by the organizations building on it. OpenShell applies deterministic controls to what agents do as they call tools, reach inference services and execute workloads, and lets teams attach their own compute, credentials and monitoring. NVIDIA is also contributing to Agent Substrate, a Google-led CNCF Sandbox framework for running long-lived agents on Kubernetes, and is working with Google on an OpenShell integration. Separately, NVIDIA Kubernetes Engine and NVIDIA Kubernetes Recipes entered public preview as open source building blocks for managed Kubernetes on GPU infrastructure, and the open source NVIDIA Snapshot component restores checkpointed inference replicas without model reload or warmup.
