What happens when AI agents stop simply answering questions and start using computers of their own? It could create an entirely new boom in virtual machines. In this episode of Uplink, David Crawshaw, Co-Founder and CEO of exe.dev, joins host Michael Reid to explore the infrastructure behind the rapidly emerging world of AI agents. As agents become capable of writing code, running applications, operating tools, maintaining state, and working independently, they need more than access to an AI model. They need computing environments where they can actually get work done.

Our Megaport technical expert, Steve Tu explains what IPsec is, how it secures network traffic, and where it’s used across VPN and cloud connectivity. About Megaport Deploying infrastructure should be fast and simple. Megaport’s software-defined platform provides private compute, network, and storage — so you can build secure, scalable infrastructure for cloud, enterprise, and global AI inference workloads. Trusted by the world’s leading enterprises, Megaport operates across 1,200+ enabled locations globally.

As infrastructure gets more complex, with workloads spread across clouds, regions, and providers, every hop your data takes between them adds up. Where do these costs actually come from? Has your team ever traced a surprise bill back to data movement? With Megaport, cloud egress costs are minimized by routing data privately between providers, avoiding the higher transfer rates associated with public internet routing.
