Kubernetes + AI Convergence: The New Infrastructure Stack

Kubernetes + AI Convergence: The New Infrastructure Stack** Kubernetes is becoming the unified platform for AI workloads. AI agents are increasingly deployed on K8s, and SREs are using AI tools like K8sGPT to manage clusters. **Evidence:** - Portworx: "Kubernetes will become the unified hybrid cloud platform" for AI inference - Cloud trends: "2026 will see more AI agents deployed on Kubernetes using tools like kagent" - Fairwinds: "The heaviest AI workloads on Kubernetes will be MLOps platforms" - Komodor: "AI will push SRE to its limit" - 7 predictions for Kubernetes in 2026 - CNCF: Kubernetes security features graduating to stable in early 2026 **Strategic Recommendation:** - Q1 2026: Prepare Kubernetes for AI workloads - Evaluate K8sGPT for SRE operations - Investment: Medium ($5-15M) ***
