AI is changing the way organizations think about private cloud, from infrastructure and security to developer experience, operating models and cost.
In this episode of the Virtually Speaking Podcast, Pete Flecha and Jad El-Zein are joined by Vivek Vijay and John Hall from Kyndryl to discuss what it takes to prepare private cloud environments for the AI era.
The conversation explores the growing demand for private and sovereign AI, the impact of AI-driven security threats, and why organizations need to rethink architecture rather than simply add more tools. We also look at how VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 can provide a consistent platform for VMs, Kubernetes and modern applications while helping organizations balance security, resilience and developer productivity.
Vivek and John share what Kyndryl is seeing with customers today, including workload repatriation, platform engineering, VCF 9.1 migrations, infrastructure optimization and the increasing role of AI agents in both development and operations.
We also preview Kyndryl’s VMware Explore session, “Is Your Private Cloud Ready for the AI Era?”, and the workshops designed to help customers assess their VCF readiness, platform engineering maturity and ability to respond to emerging AI security threats.
