Microsoft's Copilot overhaul brings autonomous workplace tasks into focus. Docker's agent-runtime approach and Nvidia's safety claims raise practical questions about isolation, permissions and operational control.
The discussion then turns to Cloud Field Day 26 and the outlook for cloud operations and infrastructure automation. The panel separates product promises from the questions enterprise buyers should test.
Hosts: Alan Shimel and Mike Vizard. Guests: Stephen Foskett and Tom Hollingsworth.
