NVIDIA Donates OpenShell to CNCF and Expands AI Infrastructure

At KubeCon, NVIDIA donated OpenShell, an open-source runtime for securing and governing autonomous agents, to the CNCF as a Sandbox project, and joined Google's Agent Substrate framework for running long-lived agent workloads on Kubernetes. The move pushes agent governance and scale-out scheduling into open governance, alongside benchmarks showing Snapshot cut vLLM cold-start from minutes to tens of seconds.
