Kata Containers 4.0 — AI Agent Sandboxing
July 22, 2026 — Austin, Texas
OpenInfra Foundation / Kata Containers community: runtime-rs (Rust) becomes default; Go runtime deprecated, not removed before 5.0. Lightweight VM isolation for unpredictable agent workloads. Supported runtime for Kubernetes Agent Sandbox; foundation for Confidential Containers.
Quotes from Ant Group, NVIDIA, Edgeless Systems, Microsoft. Expanded hardware/hypervisor support, hardened supply chain, formalized release acceptance criteria.
