"Kubernetes has rapidly become the operating system for the AI era, with GKE now powering AI workloads for all of our top 50 customers on the platform, including the largest frontier model builders."
"GKE Agent Sandbox provides kernel-level isolation for untrusted agent code execution using gVisor, the same sandboxing technology that secures Gemini. Google claims 300 sandboxes per second at sub-second latency and up to 30% better price-performance when running on Axion compared to other hyperscale clouds."
"GKE's cutting-edge sandboxing capabilities allow us to reliably scale to hundreds of secure sandboxes per second, ensuring we can seamlessly empower builders, even during massive, unpredictable demand."
Google announced major GKE updates at Cloud Next '26, including GKE Agent Sandbox and GKE hypercluster. Agent Sandbox provides kernel-level isolation for untrusted agent code using gVisor technology, achieving 300 sandboxes per second at sub-second latency with up to 30% better price-performance on Axion. The solution introduces three Kubernetes primitives: Sandbox, SandboxTemplate, and SandboxClaim. GKE hypercluster enables managing up to a million accelerator chips from a single control plane. These updates reflect industry trends showing 327% surge in multi-agent AI workflows and 66% of organizations using Kubernetes for generative AI applications. Companies like Lovable are already running production workloads on Agent Sandbox.
