AI mints a new era for cybersecurity: theCUBE’s RSAC day four analysis
AI agents are unleashing a more chaotic era of enterprise cybersecurity, one in which identities are transitory, actions are autonomous and governance struggles to keep pace. But what if the growing threat to data security is also creating the industry’s next big opportunity? RSAC day four opened with those themes in focus, but none felt ...
Regulation crashes the AI party: theCUBE’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU day three analysis
Cloud-native governance seems poised to cool AI mania, forcing enterprises to ask: How do you scale AI without losing control of the infrastructure beneath it? That question loomed over the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s flagship conference, which brought together adopters and technologists from leading open-source and cloud-native communities in Amsterdam. With the EU Cyber Resilience Act ...
AI’s infrastructure crunch: Inside CNCF’s play to bring order to inference chaos
Unpredictable demand, specialized hardware, production-scale complexity — all of it is making AI inference harder to run at enterprise scale. Now, cloud-native open-source infrastructure is emerging as the answer to inference chaos. That shift is already showing up in the Kubernetes ecosystem. In fact, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation has almost doubled the number of ...
Security buyers push back on tool sprawl: theCUBE’s RSAC day three analysis
Security platformization is starting to look less like a slogan and more like a real enterprise buying shift, as organizations pull back from expanding already crowded security stacks. That change is becoming more urgent as AI reshapes the threat landscape and exposes the limits of one-off security fixes. Recent data shows both a sharp decline ...
Red Hat is approaching sovereign AI as a make-or-break enterprise concern
As regulatory frameworks tighten and geopolitical tensions intensify, organizations worldwide are realizing that sovereign AI is one of the most consequential themes shaping how enterprises build and govern infrastructure. By 2030, more than 75% of all enterprises outside of the U.S. are predicted to have a digital sovereignty strategy, underscoring how urgently enterprises need to ...
20 million developers, one massive shift: How AI is upending the cloud-native ecosystem
Kubernetes adoption is skyrocketing as the cloud-native developer community approaches 20 million participants, marking a pivotal moment for an ecosystem that increasingly serves as the substrate for AI. Platform engineering, abstraction layers and evolving developer personas are reshaping how organizations interact with cloud-native technologies. The latest “State of Cloud Native Development” report from the Cloud ...
Red Hat sees inference as AI’s next battleground — with Kubernetes at the core
As AI demands drive orders-of-magnitude increases in token consumption, the need for scalable, production-grade Kubernetes inference has never been greater. The challenge now is less about training ever-larger models than about running them reliably, cheaply and at scale. In response, Red Hat Inc. has contributed llm-d, an open-source project for running large language models across ...
How Capital One Software is using tokens to turn dark data into a secure AI asset
As enterprises race to feed proprietary data into AI systems, enterprise data security has become the defining bottleneck — not compute, not models, but the sensitive information companies are too cautious to touch. The challenge is especially urgent for regulated industries, where decades of accumulated data sits locked away in mainframes and unstructured files — emails, ...
Vast Data and Nvidia target storage to unlock next-gen AI inference scale
As AI inference demand grows, storage is becoming the pressure point that determines how far GPUs can truly scale. The pressure is especially acute for enterprises deploying agentic workflows, where massive fleets of agents send constant inference requests to GPU servers. Offloading previously computed attention data from high-bandwidth memory to intelligent storage tiers can significantly ...
Nvidia goes after AI factory efficiency with Vera Rubin’s power-first design
AI infrastructure is becoming a power and economics problem as much as a compute problem. With Vera Rubin, Nvidia Corp. is aiming to redefine how the AI factory creates value. The pressure is rising on data center operators to turn AI infrastructure into a more efficient — and more monetizable — engine. Nvidia is now throwing ...
