Kagent Documentation
Your complete guide to the AI agent platform for Kubernetes
What is kagent?#
Kagent is an innovative AI agent platform designed specifically for Kubernetes environments. It empowers developers and operations teams to create intelligent, autonomous agents that can monitor, manage, and automate complex Kubernetes workloads using the power of large language models (LLMs).
Kagent was created at Solo.io in 2025 and is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation sandbox project.
