[Cloud Native Now @ContainerJrnl]

A more powerful model is not enough if it does not understand the business behind the data.

@googlecloud’s Aniket Arora points to context as a critical part of enterprise AI. Internal playbooks, wikis, PDFs, business rules, and even definitions such as how revenue is calculated can all shape how an LLM interprets information and responds to a task.

Connecting that organizational knowledge to AI becomes even more important as agents take on more complex workflows and decisions.

For a deeper look at the data foundation needed to support that shift, watch the full session on demand: https://t.co/shUmuNAlUL

[Cloud Native Now @ContainerJrnl]

Moving data between environments can add cost and complexity to AI infrastructure.

The Futurum Group’s @brad_shimmin explains that when a third-party engine runs on top of a hyperscaler, organizations can face another layer of margin along with network egress fees as data crosses boundaries. Bringing the workload to where the data already lives offers a different approach, reducing unnecessary movement while keeping the architecture closer to the data it depends on.

That principle becomes especially relevant as enterprises prepare their infrastructure for more agent-driven workloads.
