Let’s stop babysitting clusters and build AI agents to operate and govern for us! Kagent, a new CNCF project, enables simple declarative development of Kubernetes-native AI agents for any cloud native projects. This session will show you how to rapidly construct custom AI agents for essential operational and management tasks. Learn how Kyverno, the Kubernetes-native policy engine for managing validation, mutation, generation, and cleanup, can be extended with AI capabilities through kagent using the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable intelligent policy recommendations and automation.

The presenters will illustrate how kagent can introduce agentic AI workflows for all things Kyverno. This showcases intelligent decision-making, proactive policy enforcement, and automated threat detection using natural language.

This hands-on session features practical examples and code snippets to help participants build AI-powered Kubernetes operations for policy management and beyond.
