In this interview from theCUBE + NYSE Wired: AI Factories - Data Centers of the Future, Lukas Gentele, co-founder and chief executive officer of vCluster Labs, joins theCUBE's John Furrier to discuss how cloud-native technology is becoming the operating backbone of the AI infrastructure boom. Gentele explains how vCluster Labs helps more than 200 emerging infrastructure providers build the software layer that sits on top of GPU hardware, giving neoclouds an AWS-like provisioning experience. He details why automation, checkpointing and self-healing systems are now essential at scale, since a single failed node can jeopardize an entire training run and the revenue tied to it.
The conversation also explores how Kubernetes became the connective tissue linking NVIDIA's reference architectures to companies like CoreWeave, tracing a lineage from the OpenStack and Open Compute movements through today's AI-native cloud providers. Gentele notes that NVIDIA's growing embrace of open source, including recent tooling and its partnership with Hugging Face, reflects a broader industry shift toward open standards rather than proprietary lock-in. He shares that vCluster Labs is now cash-flow positive, has tripled its team over the past year and counts customers like Nebius, Grok and Firmus among its rising-star neocloud partners. From automating multi-tenant orchestration to preparing for a Series B raise, Gentele outlines why the software layer atop AI infrastructure has become as critical as the chips themselves.
