Kubernetes as the Control Plane for AI Agents

Explore how Kubernetes can serve as the foundation for AI agent infrastructure in this 17-minute keynote presentation from CNCF. Discover the natural evolution of Kubernetes from container orchestration to managing AI workloads, with detailed insights into how existing primitives like CustomResourceDefinitions, StatefulSets, and HorizontalPodAutoscalers can be adapted for AI agent management. Learn about the intersection of cloud native and AI infrastructure, understanding how established container-era patterns are transforming to meet the demands of AI-native applications. Gain valuable knowledge about deploying, scaling, and managing intelligent workloads, whether working with a small number of agents or developing large-scale AI-native applications. Understand how Kubernetes provides the robust foundation necessary for the next wave of innovation in agentic workflows and AI-driven development.
