Google introduced Agent Sandbox, a new feature for Kubernetes that enhances security and performance for AI agents. It allows rapid provisioning of isolated environments for executing agent tasks, optimizing resource use while maintaining strong operational guardrails. GKE users can also leverage Pod Snapshots for faster start-up times.

k0s, a lightweight and fully open-source Kubernetes distribution, has officially joined the CNCF as a Sandbox project, marking a significant milestone in its development. This partnership will enhance collaboration within the cloud-native community and improve Kubernetes usability and accessibility. The k0s project aims to provide an efficient solution for various use cases, from data centers to edge computing environments.
