Mirantis k0rdent AI integrates with the VAST AI Operating System to streamline secure AI cloud deployments by unifying infrastructure orchestration and data services

CAMPBELL, Calif., October 20, 2026--Mirantis, delivering Kubernetes-native infrastructure for AI, today announced a joint integration with VAST Data, the AI Operating System company, to simplify how neoclouds and AI infrastructure deploy and operate secure, multi-tenant AI infrastructure at scale.

By bringing together the Mirantis k0rdent AI infrastructure orchestration and the VAST AI Operating System, the companies are creating a repeatable operational model spanning GPU compute and the data services that power AI workloads.

The integration with VAST Data's high-performance data platform enables cloud service providers, neoclouds, telecommunications companies and other GPU-as-a-service providers to deliver secure, tenant-isolated GPU services. Through this collaboration, k0rdent AI can now automatically provision, scale and retire tenant-isolated data services from VAST alongside compute resources. This brings data infrastructure into the same automated lifecycle used to deploy and manage AI compute, helping operators onboard customers faster while reducing manual configuration and operational complexity.

Previously, deploying compute and storage for an AI cloud tenant required operators to coordinate separate infrastructure systems, bare-metal servers, Kubernetes clusters, storage, and tenant access. Identifying network and storage details, applying specialized domain expertise and manually maintaining isolation between tenants was labor-intensive and introduced multiple opportunities for configuration errors.

With the Mirantis and VAST integration, k0rdent AI orchestrates the infrastructure so storage is automatically created, configured, scaled and retired alongside tenant compute resources.

"Scaling AI cloud infrastructure isn't just about procuring GPUs, it is about removing the friction between compute orchestration and delivering ultra-low-latency data that can keep up with those accelerators at the same speed," said Richard Borenstein, senior vice president of business development, Mirantis. "By pairing the VAST AI Operating System with Mirantis k0rdent AI, we are giving neoclouds and service providers a turnkey blueprint to automate both layers simultaneously. Operators can now spin up fully isolated, high-performance environments in lockstep with compute lifecycles, cutting tenant onboarding time from weeks to minutes."
