AI Native Platforms Define Platform Engineering with Pankaj Gupta
Platform Engineering, Tuesday, September 8th, 2026
Broadcom's Pankaj Gupta tells Alan Shimel that AI workloads, AI agents and autonomy define Platform Engineering 2.0.
In episode two of The Platform Engineering Show, Alan Shimel talks with Broadcom's Pankaj Gupta about AI native platforms as the foundation of Platform Engineering 2.0.
The first pillar is native support for AI workloads, including GPU provisioning, model serving, model registries, MCP servers, ML pipelines and guardrails.
The second treats AI agents as platform citizens needing access controls, approvals and human-in-the-loop oversight.
The long-term third pillar is autonomous, self-healing and self-optimizing platforms, though the near-term priority is making AI workloads and agents safe and governed.
