Stacklet Joins the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) to Advance Open Standards for Autonomous Cloud and AI Infrastructure

Stacklet, creators of CNCF’s Cloud Custodian, announced it has joined the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) as a Silver Member. Hosted by the Linux Foundation, the AAIF brings together industry leaders to advance open standards and shared infrastructure for agentic AI. Stacklet joins a growing community of organizations committed to ensuring agentic AI evolves openly, transparently, and with the governance and enterprise scale it demands.

Rooted in Cloud Custodian, the CNCF project with more than 500 million downloads trusted by some of the world’s largest enterprises, Stacklet brings open source expertise and a track record of governing cloud infrastructure at scale to the AAIF community.

Cloud and IT infrastructure is becoming more complex and more expensive as AI workloads grow, with costs and risks multiplying across layers as organizations scale. With AI agents increasingly interacting with and acting upon that infrastructure, the need for systems that can discover, fix, and prevent issues in real time has never been greater. As enterprises move from experimenting with AI to deploying agentic systems in production, governance must be built in from the start, not bolted on after.

Rooted in Cloud Custodian, the CNCF project with more than 500 million downloads trusted by some of the world’s largest enterprises, Stacklet brings open source expertise and a track record of governing cloud infrastructure at scale to the AAIF community. As a company that both leverages agentic AI and provides the control plane that keeps cloud and AI infrastructure secure, efficient, and compliant, Stacklet is well-positioned to help shape the shared infrastructure the industry needs as the demands on autonomous systems continue to grow.

“We are excited to bring our experience building and scaling the Cloud Custodian project to the AAIF community,” said Kapil Thangavelu, co-founder and CTO of Stacklet. “As agentic AI moves into enterprise infrastructure, the standards governing how those agents interact with cloud and IT systems will be critical. We look forward to contributing to that work alongside the broader open source community.”

Stacklet is advancing agentic AI through Jun0, designed to autonomously discover, fix, and prevent issues across cloud operations, cost, and risk, purpose-built for platform engineering, FinOps, and security teams. With its recently launched MCP Server, Stacklet has expanded its reach into the broader AI ecosystem, enabling teams to query, act on, and manage cloud infrastructure directly through AI-native workflows.

“Stacklet governs the infrastructure AI depends on, and uses AI to do it,” said Travis Stanfield, co-founder and CEO of Stacklet. “Cloud Custodian flourished under open standards in CNCF, and our MCP Server follows that same principle. The organizations that will succeed with agentic AI are those that embed governance early, and the AAIF is the right community to ensure those standards are open, shared, and built to scale. We look forward to collaborating with the AAIF community to shape what comes next for autonomous cloud and AI infrastructure.”
