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
