”Scaling Gemini to planet scale taught us firsthand that securely running autonomous agents is fundamentally an infrastructure challenge.”
Why it matters
The transition from simple prompts to autonomous AI agents places entirely new demands on infrastructure and security. By providing hardware-isolated runtime environments, Google aims to resolve challenges surrounding secure execution and control when thousands of agents are running in parallel to perform complex tasks.
Who is affected?
The solution is aimed at companies, developers, and cloud customers building and deploying autonomous AI agents via Google Cloud. It is also intended for organisations with high requirements for isolated runtime environments and the management of agent-based workflows.
Impact on the EU
Google has not specified any regional restrictions for the preview within the EU. The service is provided via Google Cloud and is covered by their global cloud infrastructure.
What else you should know
The launch was presented at AGNTCon and MCPCon and is based on the technical experience Google has gained while operating Gemini at scale.
