Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are converging on the same enterprise agent architecture

Amazon, Microsoft, and Google have each launched enterprise agent platforms that share the same core architecture—runtime, memory, tool gateways, identity, observability, and governance—converging on a common design despite different naming. Each platform currently locks these components within a single cloud provider's ecosystem, mirroring how application development worked before Platform as a Service unified infrastructure through shared contracts. An open-source agent platform defining a vendor-neutral lifecycle contract could restore enterprise portability and negotiating power, similar to how Cloud Foundry principles outlived the platform itself through Kubernetes adoption.
