Requirements
  • 5+ years in product management, product marketing, or GTM roles in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or enterprise software.
  • Proven track record enabling sales teams - you've built the decks, written the playbooks, and been in the room when deals close.
  • Demonstrated revenue responsibility: you've been measured against commercial outcomes, not just output.
  • Strong communicator and writer - able to take complex infrastructure concepts and make them land with a business audience.
  • Technical fluency in Kubernetes, multi-cloud, and platform engineering - enough to hold a credible conversation with engineers and translate what you hear.
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving, low-structure environment. You don't wait for things to be handed to you.
Responsibilities
  • Build and maintain the core k0rdent Enterprise pitch: positioning, messaging, use cases, pricing explainers, and competitive differentiation.
  • Produce the materials sellers need to open and close deals — slide decks, one-pagers, battle cards, ROI models, demo scripts, and migration guides.
  • Partner directly with the sales team; show up to customer meetings, support discovery calls, and help close strategic accounts.
  • Own the talk track. Make it simple, repeatable, and field-tested.
  • Take ownership of GTM plans for new capabilities and releases - coordinate across product, marketing, and sales to land launches with impact.
  • Engage analysts, write technical content, and build the external narrative around k0rdent Enterprise.
  • Develop and maintain a clear point of view on the competitive landscape - Rancher, Red Hat, SpectroCloud, Rafay, hyperscalers - and keep the field armed with current intelligence.
  • Track win/loss patterns and feed insights back into positioning and roadmap conversations.
  • Engage directly with platform engineers, DevOps teams, and SREs to understand pain points and buying drivers.
  • Identify the use cases where k0rdent Enterprise wins - multi-cloud orchestration, IDP delivery, regulated/air-gapped environments - and make those the center of the GTM story.
  • Translate customer feedback into clear, prioritized input for engineering and product leadership.
  • Take ownership of the commercial performance of the sales motion you enable. You are not a support function - you are accountable for helping the team hit numbers.
  • Track pipeline, conversion, and deal velocity as leading indicators of whether your GTM is working.
  • Work with sales leadership to identify gaps in coverage, messaging, or materials that are causing deals to stall.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with AI/ML infrastructure or GPU orchestration use cases.
  • Familiarity with Cluster API, GitOps, or Kubernetes-native policy tooling.
  • Background working with or against Red Hat, VMware, Rancher, SpectroCloud, Rafay, or hyperscaler Kubernetes offerings.
  • Experience in a startup or high-growth environment where you built GTM from scratch.

Azul Announces Monthly Critical Security Patch Updates for Java Across All Supported LTS Versions

Azul announces monthly Critical Security Patch Updates for Java across all supported LTS versions. July 23, 2026 Azul announced that it will deliver monthly Critical Security Patch Updates (CSPUs) for Java Long-Term Support (LTS) versions for both Azul Core and Azul Prime, starting in August 2026. The traditional quarterly update cadence can no longer keep pace, as a serious vulnerability surfacing just after a scheduled update can sit unpatched for weeks before the next fix ships. Azul is moving to a monthly rhythm to close that exposure window, delivered with the production-grade stability enterprises depend on. Azul's CSPUs will be released monthly, on the third Tuesday of each month, when a high-priority fix is warranted, giving organizations a predictable, plannable security cadence rather than waiting for the next quarterly update. Azul will provide CSPUs across all the LTS versions it supports - Java 8, 11, 17, 21 and 25 - as well as the current release (Java 26). Azul will also deliver CSPUs for the Java 6 and 7 versions it supports, extending the same monthly security cadence to organizations still running older Java versions in production. Azul brings a proven model to this faster cadence. For years, it has delivered Java updates in two forms each quarter: Patch Set Updates (PSUs), which carry the full set of quarterly changes (typically measured in the hundreds), and Critical Patch Updates (CPUs), which deliver security fixes only, built on a stabilized, production-proven code base. Azul's CSPUs extend that same security-only, stability-first CPU model to a monthly rhythm - targeted fixes for identified vulnerabilities tracked as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), without the unrelated changes that raise regression risk. Azul will continue to work within the OpenJDK community and the OpenJDK Vulnerability Group to advance Java security. "For years, the world's most demanding enterprises have trusted Azul to deliver security and stability together, and on time," said Scott Sellers, co-founder and CEO of Azul. "As AI sharply increases the volume of threats enterprises face, enterprises shouldn't have to choose between the two. Monthly security-only updates are the new standard Azul is setting for how enterprises protect their Java estates." Industry news.

Mirantis brings enterprise-grade controls to AI infrastructure.

Mirantis brings enterprise-grade controls to AI infrastructure. k0rdent adds capabilities enabling enterprises and GPU cloud operators to govern, scale, and monetize sovereign AI services. May 15, 2026 Prev Next 1 of 42,993 Mirantis, delivering Kubernetes-native infrastructure for AI, announced additional capabilities for k0rdent AI, further expanding the platform beyond infrastructure management to help enterprises, neoclouds, and GPU cloud operators monetize AI infrastructure investments. The new k0rdent AI Model Registry and k0rdent AI Inference Mesh enable organizations to securely host, govern, route, and meter AI models and inference services across federated computing resources. Together, the two new products help organizations transform raw GPU infrastructure into governed, revenue-generating AI platforms. Mirantis also introduced k0rdent AI Inference Runtime designed to maximize tokens per GPU-second for improved infrastructure efficiency and utilization. "As organizations move AI projects from experimentation into production, infrastructure teams are increasingly confronting operational and governance challenges around model distribution, inference visibility, compliance enforcement, and GPU economics," said Kevin Kamel, vice president of product development at Mirantis. "Enterprises and GPU operators have largely been forced to stitch together fragile workflows and disconnected tools to operationalize AI. Models cannot be treated the same as containers because they have their own governance, sovereignty, compliance, and lifecycle requirements. The capabilities we're providing today are validated and benchmarked for users." k0rdent AI Model Registry k0rdent AI Model Registry is optimized for AI model storage and distribution workflows. It provides a secure, OCI-native registry for managing large language models (LLMs), fine-tuned variants, quantized builds, and related AI artifacts across distributed infrastructure. The registry reduces the operational complexity often associated with secure AI model distribution. k0rdent AI Inference Mesh k0rdent AI Inference Mesh routes, meters, audits, and enforces policy on every inference request across models, regions, clusters, and providers. It provides a full view of where AI requests are going, what they cost, and any compliance gaps. The new products build on Mirantis' k0rdent AI platform, which focuses on Kubernetes-native AI infrastructure spanning bare metal, virtual machines, managed Kubernetes, and sovereign clouds.

Mirantis launches AI governance and inference tools for GPU clouds.

Mirantis launches AI governance and inference tools for GPU clouds. The launch comes shortly after Iren agreed to acquire Mirantis for $625 million May 19, 2026 Mirantis is adding new governance, routing, and metering capabilities to its k0rdent AI platform as enterprises and graphic processing unit (GPU) cloud operators look for more control over AI infrastructure moving from pilots into production. The California-based company is expanding k0rdent AI beyond infrastructure management into the operational layer of AI delivery, where companies must track where models are running, how inference requests are routed, what those requests cost, and whether they comply with internal policies or sovereignty requirements. The k0rdent AI Model Registry is built for storing and distributing large language models (LLMs), fine-tuned models, quantized builds, and other AI artifacts across distributed environments. Mirantis described it as an OCI-native registry designed specifically for AI model workflows, rather than traditional container images. The k0rdent AI Inference Mesh is intended to route, meter, audit, and enforce policy on inference requests across models, regions, clusters, and providers. The goal is to give platform teams a clearer view of where AI traffic is going, how infrastructure is being consumed, and where compliance gaps may exist. Mirantis also introduced k0rdent AI Inference Runtime, which the company said is designed to improve infrastructure efficiency by maximizing tokens per GPU-second. "As organizations move AI projects from experimentation into production, infrastructure teams are increasingly confronting operational and governance challenges around model distribution, inference visibility, compliance enforcement, and GPU economics," Kevin Kamel, VP of product development at Mirantis, noted in a statement. The launch comes shortly after Iren agreed to acquire Mirantis for $625 million, with Mirantis expected to operate as a standalone subsidiary while supporting Iren's AI cloud deployments. That deal positioned Mirantis' bare metal GPU and Kubernetes stack as part of a broader push to bring AI infrastructure online faster. Mirantis' announcement also lands amid a rise of neocloud providers and distributed AI infrastructure. Neoclouds are building out high-performance networks for AI workloads, while companies such as Cast AI are trying to make GPU capacity more flexible across Kubernetes environments.
