Do more with less: How GKE can reduce your cost per agent by 75%

In today's agentic era, modern cloud applications are evolving from a set of passive tools to fleets of autonomous digital workers that reason, plan, and take action across a wide range of tasks. For platform engineering teams designing these environments, the simplest approach is often to deploy an agent on to an open-source framework like OpenClaw and Hermes running on a virtual machine (VM). But as those workloads move into production and scale to support additional users or use cases, teams quickly hit a critical challenge: AI agents tend to operate in bursts; for a while they actively pro

20 questions for the Agentic Enterprise (and how Agent Platform can help)

If you're an IT leader, you might be getting a lot of questions about how to build and deploy agents. The pressure to move fast is intense, but the engineering reality is incredibly complex. Where do your teams even begin? How do you untangle a fragmented mess of disconnected tools? And as things grow, how do you ensure your agents don't accidentally leak sensitive data, or burn through your token budget in an afternoon? It's a lot to balance, and trying to establish a secure foundation for an entire organization can quickly feel overwhelming. That's why we built Gemini Enterprise Agent Platfo

A developer's guide to publishing agents in Gemini Enterprise and Google Cloud Marketplace

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is evolving into Agents-as-a-service (AaaS). Instead of isolated applications, developers are creating AI agents that interoperate using standardized open protocols such as the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol and can be orchestrated through centralized agent platforms like Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. When building for your specific use case, we believe the goal should always be to engineer high-quality agents that combine autonomy with the ability to reliably execute complex, multi-step workflows that deliver clear business value. For agent builders and developers

The 'first' AI-run ransomware attack still needed a human

An AI agent carried out the technical execution of a real-world ransomware attack for the first known time, but new details show a human still chose the victim, set up the infrastructure, and supplied stolen credentials - meaning it wasn't quite the fully autonomous cybercrime debut that last week's headlines suggested.

How to conduct an AI agent security audit

My friend once raved about an AI tool he used for meeting summaries-until I asked what the tool had access to. It was only then that he realized he'd never actually looked into it. For all he knew, his AI tool could've had access to customer profiles with personally identifiable information (PII). You never know how low-stakes a tool truly is until you've investigated its connections and mapped out what it does with those connections.

Get started with the Claude apps gateway for Google Cloud

Anthropic's agentic coding tool Claude Code has worked with Google Cloud for a while now. An individual developer could easily point CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1 at a Google Cloud (GCP) project, grant the role roles/aiplatform.user, and inference stays inside your Google Cloud perimeter. That flow works great when it's just you, or a handful of engineers. But rolling it out across an organization forces you to deal with enterprise friction: you have to manage per-developer cloud credentials, push a managed-settings.json to every laptop over MDM, and not be verified with zero per-developer usage at

Retrofit, don't rebuild: Agentic overlays for transforming legacy enterprise services

In this technical collaboration between AWS and the authors, we present a pragmatic solution: agentic overlays. Agentic overlays are thin wrapper layers that transform traditional REST-based services into agents capable of participating in A2A interactions. They also expose REST APIs as tools compatible with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Together, they let enterprises add A2A capabilities to existing REST services without rewriting business logic, without duplicating code, and without running parallel infrastructures. This reduces agent sprawl in the infrastructure by reusing existing serv
