Sponsored Session: Kubernetes Is the AI OS. Here's the Open Source Stack Running on Top of It - Jonathan Bryce, The Linux Foundation & Daniel Krook, CNCF

Wednesday October 7, 2026 15:35 - 16:15 CEST

South Hall 2 A (Floor 2)

Kubernetes has become the AI operating system (82% of container users run it in production and 66% use it for AI inference) but the real challenge is scaling inference, not training. Every prompt and every agent call runs inference, and standard Kubernetes routing is blind to the KV cache state and token dynamics that determine whether you hit your SLOs. This session covers the open stack the CNCF community is coalescing around to fix that: HAMi (now Incubating) for fractional GPU virtualization and hard accelerator isolation, Inference Gateway (GA) for model-aware traffic routing, llm-d (new CNCF Sandbox project) for cache and load-aware distributed inference, KServe (Incubating) for multi-model serving, and the KAR (Kubernetes AI Conformance Requirements) program now spanning 31 certified platforms. We’ll also cover four trends shaping the next 12 months of cloud native AI.
