Welcome to the Cloud Wars Minute — your daily cloud news and commentary show. Each episode provides insights and perspectives around the “reimagination machine” that is the cloud.
In today’s Cloud Wars Minute, I explore how Google Cloud is reshaping the enterprise landscape with its bold push into multi-agent ecosystems and agentic AI.
Highlights
00:14 — Here at Google Cloud Next, we see that agentic AI is starting to rewire the global economy. It’s fascinating to see in this world of multi-agents how technology vendors are helping businesspeople get agents from different vendors to work together. Google Cloud is definitely the company that is number one in helping to drive this multi-agent phenomenon.
01:02 — In addition to creating and building agents itself and helping its customers build agents, Google Cloud’s ecosystem has built over 1,000 use cases. It’s now released a protocol called Agent2Agent (A2A). It allows agents to work together. So, you could have one from Salesforce, one from Workday, one from ServiceNow, one from Google Cloud, Oracle.
AI Agent & Copilot Summit is an AI-first event to define opportunities, impact, and outcomes with Microsoft Copilot and agents. Building on its 2025 success, the 2026 event takes place March 17-19 in San Diego. Get more details.
02:00 — Google Cloud has also been working with enterprise data providers because data is what feeds up into the agents. These include now Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. So, an amazing array of partners helping agents to tap into the data from multiple sources. It’s also got deep training on how to help clients fulfill the promise of multi-agents.
03:10 — Multi-cloud collaboration is something that’s now expected. We’re going to see the same thing with agents. Multi-agent isn’t just going to be something that’s nice to have. Customers are going to require the technology companies ensure that multiple agents from different vendors can all work together to drive great business outcomes for customers.
