Solo.io has introduced kagent, an open source framework enabling AI agents to automate Kubernetes workflows. Built on Microsoft's AutoGen framework, kagent helps DevOps teams streamline configuration, troubleshooting, and security tasks through integration with cloud native tools via the Model Context Protocol. The framework includes pre-defined functions, autonomous agents, and a declarative API. Initially supporting Argo, Helm, Istio and Kubernetes tools, Solo.io plans to donate kagent to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and expand its capabilities through community contributions.
