Our take
At Cloud Next '26, Google unveiled the GKE Agent Sandbox and Hypercluster, positioning Kubernetes as a key player in the AI landscape. The GKE Agent Sandbox utilizes gVisor kernel isolation to ensure secure execution of agent code at an impressive rate of 300 sandboxes per second. As the only native agent sandbox among the three major hyperscalers, it offers a unique solution for developers.
