Can Cloud Foundry Host AI Agents? Exploring the Art of the Possible - Adib Saikali, Broadcom
AI agents are becoming operational workloads. Picture a pull-request reviewer powered by an AI coding agent: when a PR opens, it clones the repository, analyzes the changes, runs tests, performs a security review, leaves comments, and disappears. What would it take to run that on Cloud Foundry?
First we need a way to think about it. We introduce a framework for understanding what AI agents need from a platform — a small set of dimensions that let you characterize any agent and reason precisely about the runtime it requires — built from first principles and used to separate the easy requirements from the genuinely hard ones.
With the framework in hand, we put Cloud Foundry to the test against two leading agent technologies: Claude Code and Claude Managed Agents. The analysis stays grounded in working code — a live cf push deploys a Claude Code agent — then turns to what it would take to host the session containers behind a Claude Managed Agents environment.
By the end, attendees will know what AI agents demand from a platform, how Cloud Foundry measures up today, and what is already possible.
