CNCF, Arm Standardize AI on Kubernetes at KubeCon | Tech Field Day News Rundown: November 12, 2025
33m
At KubeCon 2025, the CNCF launched the Certified Kubernetes AI Conformance Program to standardize AI and ML workloads on Kubernetes, ensuring portability across hybrid and sovereign clouds and preventing platform lock-in. Supported by companies like Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Broadcom, and Red Hat, the initiative promotes interoperability, scalability, and efficient production deployment. Arm showcased its Neoverse platform alongside Google Cloud’s Axion N4A VMs, enabling energy-efficient, scalable AI workloads, while partnerships with CNCF projects like Harbor, OPA, Kedify, and AuthZed help developers build secure, portable, and cost-effective cloud-native systems from edge to cloud. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown recorded live at Commvault Shift with Tom Hollingsworth and Stephen Foskett.
