The OpenShell agent-security runtime is moving into the CNCF Sandbox as NVIDIA introduces three open-source infrastructure components for Kubernetes-based AI factories.
AT A GLANCE
Key points
- OpenShell is moving to community governance in the CNCF Sandbox.
- Agent Substrate will integrate with NVIDIA Dynamo and KAI Scheduler.
- Three new open-source DSX infrastructure components were announced.
What is changing?
NVIDIA has contributed OpenShell, a runtime that governs autonomous agents’ access to tools, files, networks, and credentials at the policy layer, to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. The project is moving to community governance in the CNCF Sandbox. OpenShell runs agents in isolated environments, defines permissions, and inserts real credentials only into requests bound for approved endpoints.
The company also said it will contribute to Google-originated Agent Substrate and connect it with NVIDIA Dynamo and KAI Scheduler. NVIDIA announced three open-source components for the DSX AI Factory Platform: NVIDIA Kubernetes Engine, Kubernetes Recipes, and Snapshot. The first two are in public preview, while Snapshot aims to speed scaling and recovery by restoring model replicas from checkpoints.
