Enterprises are rapidly moving from AI experimentation to production-grade deployments, using Kubernetes to deliver and scale AI services consistently across environments.  As AI workloads become embedded in business-critical workflows, new risks emerge—particularly at runtime.  Generative AI systems can expose sensitive data, generate responses to restricted topics, or be manipulated through prompt injection and jailbreak techniques during user interactions.  The challenge is no longer just how to deploy AI models, but how to control AI behavior in real-time—without adding operational complexity or slowing innovation. F5 and Nutanix address this challenge together by combining Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI) with F5 AI Guardrails.  Nutanix Enterprise AI provides a Kubernetes-based platform to deploy and operate AI models and inference services at scale, while F5 AI Guardrails enforces real-time security and policy controls on AI interactions. ## 🎬 See the Joint Solution in Action **✨ NEW​✨** 🎬 **Watch this demo video** to see F5 AI Guardrails work seamlessly together with Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI) Agent Gateway Unified Endpoint (New in NAI v2.7) to secure LLM inference at scale.

These built‑in guardrails address common AI risks such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, PII exposure, restricted topics, and more.  In addition to built‑in guardrails, F5 AI Guardrails supports custom guardrails, allowing teams to tailor policy enforcement to specific use cases.  One option for defining custom guardrails is through natural‑language policy creation, guided by an integrated F5 AI Assistant.  The AI Assistant reviews and refines guardrail definitions using F5 best practices, ensuring that descriptions are clear, concise, and consistently structured for optimal performance. AI Guardrails simplifies AI observability by providing continuous visibility and traceability across AI interactions, with audit‑ready observability, scanning, and logging to support governance and compliance.  As part of the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP), AI Guardrails delivers runtime protection for AI models, agents, and connected data, extending F5’s application delivery, security, and observability capabilities across applications and APIs. > **[F5 AI Guardrails](https://www.f5.com/products/ai-guardrails)** > > Implement secure AI guardrails with F5. Protect generative AI applications from emerging threats and ensure safe, compliant deployments across the cloud. ## **Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI) Overview** Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI) is a cloud‑native, Kubernetes‑based AI platform designed to help organizations run AI inference at scale. NAI is supported on CNCF‑certified Kubernetes platforms, including Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP). It enables enterprises to deploy, manage, and operate AI models, inference endpoints, and AI agents through a single, unified management experience, allowing organizations to run AI consistently wherever they operate Kubernetes while maintaining enterprise control, security, and visibility. > **[Nutanix AI Factory: Deploy Enterprise AI at Scale, No Lock-in](https://www.nutanix.com/products/nutanix-enterprise-ai)** > > Deploy private enterprise AI factories with Nutanix: Run RAG, agents & inference workloads quickly. No vendor lock-in. No data leaks. Built for IT teams. ## **F5 and Nutanix: Better Together** ![image_346151.jpg](https://d20hrnpixdzcsd.cloudfront.net/original/2X/7/78987c7950f47200f41b5a943eb5088b2513f5c3.jpeg) F5 AI Guardrails and Nutanix Enterprise AI deployed on the same Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)—managed Kubernetes cluster Nutanix Enterprise AI provides a Kubernetes‑based platform for deploying, managing, and operating AI models, inference endpoints, and AI agents, while F5 AI Guardrails provides runtime security and governance for AI interactions.  F5 AI Guardrails can run side by side with Nutanix Enterprise AI, with both solutions deployed on the same Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP)–managed Kubernetes cluster, enabling them to operate on a common Kubernetes foundation. Together, F5 and Nutanix deliver secure, trustworthy, enterprise‑ready AI deployments by combining an enterprise AI platform with runtime AI security—enabling organizations to move fast with AI without losing control over security, compliance, and governance.
