Nutanix Enterprise AI 2.8 and Kubernetes Platform 2.19: Running Agentic AI on Shared Cloud Infrastructure
Enterprise infrastructure is entering a phase where AI agents are no longer isolated experiments but co-resident workloads on the same clusters that run virtual machines and containers. Nutanix this week announced general availability of Nutanix Enterprise AI 2.8 and a forthcoming Nutanix Kubernetes Platform 2.19, aimed at letting organisations run agentic AI applications alongside existing workloads without creating separate management silos.
