Mirantis launches Agent Platform at KubeCon and pairs it with a Forward Deployed Engineering service
Mirantis made its self-hosted Kubernetes Agent Platform generally available on November 10 and launched Mirantis Forward Deployed Engineering, which embeds senior engineers with customer teams to build and operationalize custom agents before handing the platform over.
Mirantis announced general availability of Mirantis Agent Platform at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Salt Lake City on November 10, 2026. The self-hosted platform runs AI agents on Kubernetes with per-agent sandboxing, spend caps at the organization, project and agent levels, full audit trails, a one-click network cutoff for all agents, and human approval before agents apply fixes.
Alongside it, Mirantis launched Forward Deployed Engineering: senior Mirantis engineers embed with customer teams to design, integrate and operationalize custom agents, then hand the platform back to the customer to run. VP of product management Ronen Kofman said enterprise AI is losing momentum because organizations lack governance and execution support, not because models lack intelligence.
This extends the FDE model into cloud-native infrastructure and platform engineering. For engineers with Kubernetes, SRE or platform backgrounds, it is another vendor where agent deployment work leans on infrastructure and operations skills more than application code.
