When we first introduced kagent on March 17th, 2025, we had a bold vision: to bring agentic AI to cloud native—empowering platforms and DevOps engineers to harness AI agents for solving real operational challenges.
Fast forward 100 days, and today we’re celebrating a major milestone: 100 days of the kagent project! 🎉Thank you everyone for being part of this journey! 🚀
Accepted into CNCF as a sandbox project
What began as a tool to address our own customer challenges has grown into a thriving open-source project. Kagent is now a CNCF Sandbox project, and it's evolving into a powerful declarative agentic AI framework—enabling like-minded engineers to run AI agents in Kubernetes, automating complex operations and streamlining troubleshooting workflows.

🌍 Kagent Travels Around the World
In just 100 days, kagent has made its mark on the global stage. We’ve taken our vision of Agentic AI to some of the most prestigious conferences worldwide—sharing our belief that kagent is a key building block for the future of agentic AI.
📢KubeCon EU 2025
This was where it all began—the first public announcement of kagent and our intention to donate it to the CNCF. The announcement was made during the Day 2 keynote by Idit Levine and Keith Babo. Later, Christian Posta delivered a live demo at the KubeCon EU demo theater, showcasing kagent in action. 🚀
🇫🇷 GOSIM AI Paris 2025
Eitan Yarmush took the stage in Paris to challenge attendees to rethink the open-source agent stack with Kagent. Check out the recording—it’s a must-watch!
🤠 KCD Texas 2025
Kagent was featured in KCD Texas keynote along with Headlamp, AI model pack and Dapr agent by Chris Aniszczyk. Later, I also did a live demo of kagent to help me with Istio ambient operations.

🇯🇵 OpenSSF Community – Japan
I connected with the open source security community in Japan to explore how agentic AI can help shape the future of cloud-native users, OpenSSF, and the broader open source ecosystem. I also showcased a live demo of kagent, highlighting the future impact of agentic AI.
🇺🇸Open Source Summit NA
In a totally unplanned moment, I did a live demo of kagent alongside my generative AI application with Kubernetes, Argo and Istio—right in the middle of troubleshooting a Git mistake I had just made! 😅
It was amazing to have kagent acting like my buddy on stage, offering hints and helping me recover in real time. A great example of how powerful and practical agentic AI can be!
Beyond Cloud Native Operations
While kagent was originally designed to tackle challenges in cloud-native operations, we've been excited to see users applying it far beyond that scope.
Thanks to its knowledge-based agent, kagent can be used to interact with and reason over any type of documentation—not just Kubernetes manifests or infrastructure logs. From internal wikis and runbooks to software manuals and onboarding guides, kagent is proving to be a powerful tool for making structured and unstructured knowledge accessible via simple conversations.
🎉Wrapping Up
To everyone who has starred the kagent repo, contributed code, filed issues, joined discussions, or simply helped spread the word—thank you for being an essential part of this community! We’re super excited to keep growing and building together.
Let’s shape the future of Agentic AI with kagent—together!
