Google Cloud introduced the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, a comprehensive ecosystem for building, running, and governing production-ready autonomous agents.
The platform features an Agent Development Kit (ADK), a serverless runtime, agent-to-agent (A2A) communication protocols, and integrated observability to manage complex agentic workflows.
Gemini Cloud Assist was unveiled as an agentic cloud operator that helps developers design, troubleshoot, and optimize infrastructure using natural language, directly integrating into the IDE.
The presentation emphasized a holistic approach, integrating data context via AlloyDB, advanced security with partners like Wiz, and making all Google Cloud services agent-aware through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
