HANDS-ON WORKSHOP WITH THE KAGENT COMMUNITY

Build Production-Ready AI Agents on Kubernetes

Stop wrestling with AI agent deployment. Start shipping intelligent automation that scales.

Running AI agents in production shouldn't require duct tape and prayer. Kagent (a CNCF sandbox project) brings Kubernetes-native simplicity to AI agent orchestration, and in this workshop, you'll learn directly from the people building it.

What You'll Learn

This isn't a slideware session. You'll get your hands dirty with real deployments, walking away with: 

  • The kagent fundamentals: Project goals, architecture decisions, and what problems it actually solves (spoiler: the painful ones)
  • Complete deployment workflow: From installation to running your first production agent

  • ModelConfig setup: Configure and manage your AI models the Kubernetes way

  • MCP server integration: Connect your agents to external tools and data sources

  • Agent configuration: Build and deploy intelligent agents that work

  • CLI mastery: Command-line tools to streamline your workflow

  • Event-driven execution: Discover khook for triggering agents based on cluster events

Who Should Attend

  • Platform engineers running Kubernetes in production
  • DevOps practitioners exploring AI agent automation
  • SREs looking to enhance observability and remediation workflows
  • Developers building AI-powered applications on k8s
  • Anyone tired of brittle, non-cloud-native AI agent deployments

 

Meet Your Instructors

Anton brings deep Kubernetes expertise and real-world experience contributing to Kagent. He knows where the sharp edges are and how to avoid them.

Why Kagent? 

AI agents promise intelligent automation. Deploying them reliably? That's been the hard part. Kagent treats agents as first-class Kubernetes resources—giving you the same operational patterns you already trust for stateless apps, databases, and everything else in your cluster.

No more custom deployment scripts. No more "it works on my machine" agent configurations. Just declarative YAML, familiar kubectl commands, and agents that scale with your infrastructure.

Workshop Format & Prerequisites

Part 1: The Vision - Eitan Yarmush
Understanding Kagent's architecture, design philosophy, and current capabilities

Part 2: Hands-On Deployment - Michael Levan

  • Installing kagent in your cluster
  • Configuring models and MCP servers
  • Deploying your first agent
  • Further config with A2A and BYO agents

Q&A Throughout
 This is a working session—ask questions as they come up.

Prerequisites

  • Working knowledge of Kubernetes (you should be comfortable with pods, deployments, and kubectl)
  • Access to a Kubernetes cluster for hands-on exercises
  • Basic understanding of AI/LLM concepts helpful but not required

 

Kagent is open source. This workshop is community-driven, practitioner-focused, and designed to get you productive fast.
