VCF Cyber Defense Capabilities in the Frontier AI Era

Speaker

Yves Hertoghs

In this session, we will explore how the rise of frontier AI is fundamentally transforming the cybersecurity landscape, introducing automated attacks and rapid zero-day vulnerability discovery that bypass traditional perimeter defenses. You will learn why legacy approaches to patching and perimeter security are no longer sufficient against fast-moving lateral propagation inside private clouds. Discover how VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware vDefend and VMware Avi deliver robust Platform Security and multi-layer, hypervisor-based security, combining ingress defense, distributed virtual patching, and micro-segmentation. Finally, we will walk through prescriptive, step-by-step deployment workflows designed to help your organization operationalize zero-trust architecture and protect critical enterprise workloads against AI-driven threats.

BGP/EVPN as the Unified Control Plane for VCF and Physical Switch Fabrics

Speaker

Yves Hertoghs

Join us for a strategic deep dive into the Unified Network Fabric, a validated solution designed to simplify network design and accelerate private cloud deployments. This session explores best design practices for aligning virtual environments with physical switch fabrics to deliver a fully automated, cost-optimized network. We examine the overarching architecture, leveraging industry-standard EVPN-VXLAN and BGP in combination with the VCF Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) architecture, allowing administrators to reliably deploy and monitor the fabric end to end. Discover how this Unified Control Plane benefits customers by ensuring best-practice configurations while reducing manual errors and operational complexity.

VMware Private AI Cloud - Building and Running Enterprise-Ready AI Agents

Speaker

Oren Penso

AI agents are ready for production if your platform is. We review a VMware Private Cloud reference architecture for enterprise agentic AI. This is a fully integrated stack where VCF provides GPU-virtualized infrastructure, VKS hosts AI middleware, and Tanzu Platform manages MCP servers, curated datasets, agent runtimes, and application code.

Then we go live. Using the Tanzu Agent Build pack, we'll deploy a working agent with 1 command, "cf push", and wire it to authenticated MCP servers to connect the right LLM model and dataset. Demonstrate how platform-managed harnesses let developers ship compliant, production-grade agents fast in a secure manner.
