Meet Edera IRL

Heading to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Salt Lake City? So are we. Looking for a bit of fun? Come to the Edera Ski Mountain at Activation Zone 143 to test your mini golf skills.

Ready to warm up? Follow the trail to the Edera Chalet at Booth 226 for a look at what hardened runtime isolation actually looks like in production, plus limited-edition swag worth the trip up the mountain.

No shared kernel. No shared chair.

CYA for the Agentic Era: Contain Your Agents

Containing your architecture was step one. In a world of autonomous AI agents running code, calling tools, and touching production, you need to Contain Your Agents.

Follow the trail to Booth 226 and watch it run live: contained AI agents, scoped access, secure multi-tenancy, and GPU isolation that keeps tenant data where it belongs. This is isolation that stops an attack before your detection tool ever fires an alert.

Give agents access. Not credentials.

5 Stages of Kubernetes Security Grief

5 Stages of Kubernetes Security Grief

Denial: our namespace isolation is fine.

Anger: why does everything touch the kernel?

Kavitha Daula pairs the kernel-level reality, the shared surfaces and the failures that leave no CVE and no alert, with what teams actually say out loud, alongside Ann Wallace. It's structured as a comedy, but every stage maps to a real failure mode, and they land on the one that matters: you can't bolt on isolation, you have to build it in.

Agents on the Platform

Agents on the Platform

Four Perspectives on the Conversation We're Already Having in Private

AI and agentic systems are becoming production workloads on cloud-native platforms, and the hard questions land with platform teams: how agents identify themselves, what they can access, how fast they can act, what they cost, and what evidence the platform needs when something goes wrong.

The panel brings together four perspectives that usually get handled separately, examining what shared infrastructure must guarantee as AI systems become governable workloads, from identity for non-human callers to observability, policy and blast-radius controls, and accountability across application, model, and vendor.

Freeze It, Fork It, Let It Run

AI agents start fast, carry state, and scale to thousands. Edera's Agent Runtime runs each in its own private-kernel microVM on Kubernetes you already own. Snapshot and restore on demand. Live-fork with copy-on-write to clone agents cheaply.

Frequently asked questions

What is Edera?

Edera is a Kubernetes-native Type-1 hypervisor that eliminates the trade-off between container security and performance. It isolates every workload in its own lightweight "zone," preventing container escapes by design while maintaining near-native speed and full Kubernetes compatibility.

How does Edera make AI Agents more secure?

Without a dedicated sandbox, AI Agents would share the same host kernel, which creates risk of escapes similar to the Hugging Face incident. Edera replaces that shared foundation with lightweight microVMs, providing complete agent isolation. Couple this with OCAP Bounded Authorities, and agents simply no longer have the risk of handling overly-permissive credentials. Provide a specific capability for agents to a bound service, eliminating the majority of lateral movement incidents.

What was that you mentioned about OCAP Bounded Authorities?

Edera allows you to give a coding agent limited capabilities such as scoped permissions to a single repository. That way you can allow it to work in that repo and nothing else, avoiding having to store a GitHub token/credential in the agent. If a prompt injection or any security issue affects how your agent runs, the agent is still confined to the one repo, with no token to steal and no other repo in reach.

What kind of users benefit from Object Capabilities?

Platform engineers can publish approved actions for teams to use without managing endless credential requests, mounting secrets into workloads, or cleaning up after leaks.

Agent developers can grant agents fine-grained permissions without exposing credentials directly to agent code. Security teams and CISOs can keep credentials out of workloads and limit what agents can access, reducing the potential attack surface. OCAPs give each team the control it needs while reducing credential exposure

What if my AI agents drift from their expected behaviour? Can I restore their state?

Yes. Edera lets you snapshot an agent’s state and restore it when needed, so you can return to a known-good starting point instead of rebuilding the environment from scratch. You can also suspend agents when they’re idle and resume them later, or use copy-on-write forking to create multiple isolated copies of a running agent and explore different paths in parallel. These capabilities help teams build, test, and scale reliable AI agent and reinforcement learning workloads on their own Kubernetes clusters
