Event: CfgMgmtCamp 2026 Ghent
Date: February 4, 2026
Time: 09:00-13:00
Location: B.3.0.32

What You’ll Build

In this workshop, you’ll create a multi-agent architecture using Kagent (a CNCF sandbox project) for automating DevOps investigations during deployment failures. Your AI systems will:

Diagnose Kubernetes issues using a specialized K8s agent
Analyze metrics and resource utilization with a PromQL agent
Fix infrastructure code by creating pull requests via Pulumi Neo
Orchestrate multiple agents that coordinate autonomously to investigate and resolve issues
