At KubeCon NA 2026, two vendor-founded agent sandbox projects were accepted into the CNCF: Nvidia's OpenShell (380 contributing organizations since its first commit in January) and Google's Agent Substrate (164 organizations since May). Both target self-managed AI deployments at security-conscious companies, combining agent security with infrastructure automation. "We can't simply ask agents to follow the rules; the infrastructure must enforce them," said Nvidia VP of enterprise AI Justin Boitano, underscoring the growing convergence of agent governance and cloud-native infrastructure.
