Mirantis, a leading provider of Kubernetes-native infrastructure for AI, has officially joined the Linux Foundation’s newly established Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) as a Silver Member. This move highlights Mirantis’ growing commitment to advancing open source AI technologies and supporting enterprises as agentic AI systems move closer to mainstream adoption.
As agentic AI continues to evolve, organizations are increasingly looking for open, transparent, and collaborative frameworks to guide development and deployment. In this context, Mirantis’ participation in the AAIF positions the company to play an active role in shaping the future of autonomous AI systems, while also contributing real-world operational expertise drawn from years of experience in cloud-native and regulated environments.

“With MCP governance transitioning to the open source community, we expect even more rapid adoption and accelerated development of the technology,” said Randy Bias, vice president of open source strategy and technology at Mirantis. “So, at this nascent stage of AI and MCP technology, we’re applying our expertise to help enterprises at whatever level is needed from getting started to full implementations.”
As a Silver Member, Mirantis gains the ability to participate in general meetings, working groups, and community events hosted by the foundation. In addition, this membership provides valuable networking opportunities with other member organizations, open source leaders, and technical steering committees. It also allows Mirantis to nominate representatives to committees, ensuring its perspective contributes directly to governance and technical direction.
According to the Linux Foundation, agentic AI marks a new era in artificial intelligence, enabling autonomous decision-making and coordination across multiple AI systems. As a result, this technology has the potential to transform entire industries. To support this shift, the AAIF serves as a neutral, open foundation designed to guide the transparent and collaborative evolution of agentic AI. Its inaugural projects AGENTS.md, goose, and MCP establish a shared ecosystem of tools, standards, and community-driven innovation that will accelerate open source AI adoption.

Meanwhile, Mirantis has already taken concrete steps to support the growing MCP ecosystem. On September 30, the company launched its MCP AdaptiveOps framework, which provides engineering teams with a safe and reliable way to build and operate MCP servers. Importantly, the framework ensures interoperability and compliance as standards continue to evolve. By abstracting uncertainty around registries, gateways, and LLM routers, MCP AdaptiveOps enables faster delivery of production-ready MCP servers that can adapt as the Model Context Protocol matures.
Beyond tooling, Mirantis continues to strengthen its AI portfolio with its “metal-to-model” k0rdent AI offering. This solution enables enterprises to deploy agents that securely access private large language models connected to sensitive data. Drawing on its deep experience in highly regulated industries, Mirantis helps organizations transition to cloud-native infrastructure while confidently supporting demanding AI workloads.
Overall, Mirantis’ membership in the Agentic AI Foundation reinforces its role as a key contributor to the open source AI ecosystem, while empowering enterprises to adopt agentic AI with greater confidence, flexibility, and operational readiness.
