Microsoft Azure

Microsoft's KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 announcements cover advances across open-source AI infrastructure and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Key highlights include Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) graduating to GA, the new AI Runway open-source project providing a common Kubernetes API for inference workloads, HolmesGPT joining CNCF as a Sandbox project, and Dalec for declarative container image builds. On the AKS side, updates span identity-aware networking (Azure Kubernetes Application Network, Cilium mTLS, WireGuard encryption), GPU telemetry integrated into managed Prometheus/Grafana, cross-cluster networking via Fleet Manager with Cilium cluster mesh, shared Elastic SAN storage pools, AKS desktop GA, and safer upgrade mechanisms including blue-green agent pool upgrades and rollback support.
