Securing the Invisible Hands: Policy and Guardrails for AI-Driven Infrastructure - Annie Talvasto, Waovo & Karl Ots, EPAM Systems
As AI agents automate infrastructure decisions—from provisioning to scaling—how do you secure what machines create without human oversight? This session demonstrates how Crossplane 2.0's declarative control plane enables secure AI-driven automation through policy enforcement, real-time monitoring, and isolated execution environments.
We'll explore architectural patterns for AI-native platforms using open source tools: enforcing compliance through composition functions, isolating AI workloads with network policies, and auditing machine-generated infrastructure changes. See how Crossplane 2.0's enhanced reconciliation engine detects security drift within seconds and automatically implements remediation.
Through live demos, discover how composition functions respond to security events, enforce just-in-time access, and implement dynamic compliance policies. Learn practical patterns for real-time workload isolation, essential capability for organizations deploying AI-managed infrastructure.
Walk away with open source strategies for maintaining security control while enabling AI automation at cloud scale.
