Broadcom的VM API开源项目获云原生计算基金会Sandbox接纳
位于加州 Palo Alto 的 Broadcom 公司11月9日在 KubeCon North America 2026 大会上宣布，其 VM API 项目已被云原生计算基金会（CNCF）Sandbox 接纳。VM API 让虚拟机可以通过 Kubernetes API，在多家不同的基础设施提供商之上统一配置与管理。
Broadcom 同时宣布，将联合主持 Kubernetes 社区新成立的工作负载一致性工作组，目标是为工作负载如何在 Kubernetes 上运行建立一套共享标准；另有20多家伙伴的解决方案已通过 VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service（VKS）的验证，覆盖可观测性、安全、数据与应用交付等层面。
Linux 基金会同日发布的《2026年虚拟机报告》显示，在受访的492名从业者中，虚拟机占其生产应用的53%，且多数机构预计这一比例将保持稳定；34%正在扩大虚拟机部署的机构表示，超级智能与智能体工作负载是推动因素之一。
Broadcom 旗下 VMware Cloud Foundation 部门工程高级总监 Dilpreet Bindra 说：「几十年来，VMware 技术一直是企业虚拟化的标准。如今，现代超级智能与智能体工作流要求虚拟机在云原生生态中运行。」他表示，把 VM API 交给 CNCF，是要建立让虚拟机与容器成为一等公民的开放标准，形成面向超级智能时代的统一控制平面。
IDC 智能应用现代化与部署平台研究经理 Matthew Flug 说，虚拟机与容器将长期共存，通过同一个控制平面管理两者，能让平台工程团队更简单地保持一致治理。

Broadcom's VM API Open Source Project Accepted into CNCF Sandbox
Broadcom Inc. of Palo Alto, California, announced at KubeCon North America 2026 on November 9 that the VM API project has been accepted into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox. VM API enables virtual machines to be provisioned and managed through Kubernetes APIs across multiple heterogeneous infrastructure providers.
Broadcom also said it is co-chairing the newly formed Workload Conformance Working Group within the Kubernetes community, with the goal of establishing a shared standard for how workloads run on Kubernetes, and that more than 20 partner solutions have been validated for VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS), spanning observability, security, data and application delivery.
The Linux Foundation's 2026 Virtual Machines Report, released the same day, found that virtual machines account for 53% of production applications across the 492 practitioners surveyed, with most organizations expecting that share to hold steady. Among organizations expanding their VM footprint, 34% cited super intelligence and agentic workloads as a contributing factor.
"For decades, VMware technology has set the standard for enterprise virtualization. Modern super intelligence and agentic workflows now require VMs to operate within cloud-native ecosystems," said Dilpreet Bindra, senior director of engineering in Broadcom's VMware Cloud Foundation Division. He said contributing VM API to the CNCF aims to make VMs first-class citizens alongside containers, in a single, unified control plane.
Matthew Flug, research manager at IDC, said virtual machines and containers will continue to coexist, and managing both through the same control plane makes consistent governance simpler for platform engineering teams.
