Linux Foundation Welcomes Solo.io's AgentGateway to Boost AI Connectivity and Security
August 25, 2025
Agentgateway integrates with OpenTelemetry for observability and addresses security challenges like role-based access control and threat management in MCP communication.
Major industry players including AWS, Cisco, Huawei, IBM, Microsoft, Red Hat, Shell, and Zayo have contributed to the project, highlighting broad industry support.
Designed as a unified data plane, agentgateway manages agent-to-agent, agent-to-tool, and agent-to-large language model communications, addressing the limitations of traditional API gateways for AI networking.
The project’s source code is publicly available on GitHub, and community engagement is encouraged through Discord, fostering open collaboration and ongoing development.
The Linux Foundation has added the agentgateway project, developed by Solo.io, to its ecosystem to improve connectivity, security, and observability in AI agent environments, ensuring it remains open-source and community-driven.
Originally created by Solo.io, the agentgateway project was transferred to the Linux Foundation to promote vendor-neutral governance and support organic growth in AI infrastructure.
Industry leaders like John Roese and Chen Goldberg have emphasized the importance of purpose-built, vendor-neutral infrastructure for reliable AI agent communication, security, and governance.
The project supports essential AI communication protocols such as Agent2Agent (A2A) and Model Context Protocol (MCP), facilitating direct agent interactions and standardized data sharing.
Jim Zemlin, Linux Foundation executive director, highlighted that agentgateway provides a secure, centralized management layer that promotes open, interoperable, and secure AI systems under neutral governance.
Solo.io's CEO Idit Levine emphasized that agentgateway is specifically built to handle the protocols, patterns, and scale required for modern AI infrastructure, including high-volume inferencing APIs and diverse communication protocols.
