Keynote: The Open Source Runway: Building the Foundation for the Agentic Era
summary
Argues that production-grade autonomous agents need a five-layer runway—Linux, Kubernetes, agent runtime, orchestration, harness—with concrete components: dynamic resource allocation and topology-aware scheduling for hardware, Kata Containers for VM-level isolation, Istio plus transaction tokens for identity and auditable calls, and an open agent governance toolkit plus Open Cloak as the developer harness. Claims single requests can spawn dozens of sub-agents and burn thousands of dollars in minutes, and presents an agent reference stack and open foundation as the path to interoperability.
