AI Agent Guardrails Don't Work. Safer Platforms Do.
AI agents are powerful because they're unpredictable, which is exactly why guardrails alone can't make them safe in production. Platform orchestration that only executes safe commands, not more guardrails, is what actually protects your infrastructure.

Beyond Operations: Scaling Platform Engineering in the CNCF Community
Abby's framing is simple: every major shift in software delivery raises the bar. Cloud sped up provisioning. DevOps reshaped ways of working. Kubernetes changed architecture. Now, AI is changing what internal platforms must enable, and it is happening at a pace most organisations are not structurally ready for.

Enterprise AI on Your Terms: Governed Access and Control at Scale
Enterprises racing to adopt AI often create more risk than value. To mitigate these risks, AI needs the same treatment as every other capability in the internal developer platform (IDP). Provide it through the platform, complete with budgets, policies, and observability from day one. That is how adoption scales without chaos.
