All Infrastructure Is AI Infrastructure: Navigating the New Era of Enterprise AI at Scale
May 31, 2026 Episode 69
Mirantis Inc.

As enterprises scale generative AI and autonomous agents, every layer of the technology stack - from silicon to orchestration (ie. Metal to Model) - is being reshaped.

In this episode, hosted by Mirantis CMO Dominic Wilde, you will hear why AI workloads reverse decades of cloud abstraction, what full-stack AI infrastructure actually demands (GPUs, CPUs, networking fabrics, power, storage, etc.), how data sovereignty and regulatory frameworks like GDPR and DORA create hard architectural requirements, and what principles - manageability, observability, flexibility, repeatability, and the importance of open infrastructure - must be used to guide enterprise AI platforms into the future. All of this change has informed how the teams at Mirantis built k0rdent, a complete, open source platform for AI infrastructure orchestration.

A full list of topics covered in this episode include:

  1. The end of abstraction and what's next
  2. Full-stack AI infrastructure
  3. Data/AI sovereignty & compliance
  4. The developer experience gap
  5. Core principles for enterprise-ready AI platforms
  6. The case for open infrastructure
  7. Commoditization to contracts
