Cloud-Native Crash Courses for Agentic AI & Platform Engineering

April, 2026 (exact date will be published soon)

Agentic AI for Platform Engineering
Agentic AI isn’t just another trend, it’s reshaping how we build and operate software. Unlike traditional applications, today’s autonomous intelligent systems behave like dynamic collaborators: reasoning about goals, interacting with APIs, adapting to environments, and executing multi-step tasks. These capabilities unlock powerful new use cases, but they also demand platforms that are scalable, resilient, secure, observable, and fit for autonomy at scale.

At KubeCrash: Agentic AI for Platform Engineering, we come together to cut through the noise and explore how platform teams can harness agentic workflows on cloud-native infrastructure. Join open source maintainers, AI builders, and platform practitioners as they share actionable insights, real-world stories, and hands-on strategies for building platforms that support agentic workloads without sacrificing reliability or developer experience.
