Meet Kagent, Open Source Framework for AI Agents in Kubernetes
- Solo.io introduces kagent, an open source framework designed for building and running AI agents in Kubernetes to streamline workflows.
- Kagent caters to DevOps and platform engineers by offering tools, resources, and AI agents for automating tasks like configuration, troubleshooting, observability, and network security.
- It integrates with other cloud native tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), aiming to standardize AI model integration with APIs.
- Based on Microsoft's AutoGen framework, kagent is open source with an Apache 2.0 license.
- Initially an internal solution, kagent arose from a customer issue where Solo.io's expertise in Istio and Envoy was leveraged to resolve network problems for an insurance company.
- Solo.io plans to contribute kagent to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) after donating Gloo Gateway in November.
- Kagent's launch includes tools for Argo, Helm, Istio, Kubernetes, Grafana, Prometheus, and a cloud native expert knowledge base.
- The framework comprises three layers: tools, agents for autonomous tasks like canary deployments and security policies, and a declarative API for building and running agents.
- Solo.io envisions kagent as a community-driven project with scalability through additional agents contributed by the ecosystem.
- Future plans for kagent include tracing capabilities, metrics expansion, multi-agent support, and broadening support for large language models.
