Google Releases Open-Source AX to Orchestrate Sandboxed AI Agents Across Clusters

Google releases AX, an open-source Kubernetes-style orchestrator that runs autonomous AI agents in sandboxes across clusters using Task, Workspace, Gateway and Model primitives, while warning that its still-evolving protocols may undergo major breaking changes before a stable release.

• Google releases AX, an open-source declarative orchestrator for sandboxing and running autonomous agent workloads at cluster scale.
• AX provides four Kubernetes-style primitives—Task, Workspace, Gateway and Model—to isolate agent code, preload repositories and MCP servers, restrict network egress, and configure LLM credentials.
• The project warns that its core concepts, protocols and specifications remain under active refinement and may undergo major breaking changes before a stable release.
