Topic:
How AI Can Help Platform Engineers Build Better Platforms
About the talk:
Platform engineering teams face growing complexity managing Kubernetes infrastructure at scale, from resource optimization to troubleshooting production issues under pressure. In this talk, we’ll explore how agentic AI and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can augment platform engineers’ workflows: generating configurations, analyzing cluster health, accelerating debugging, and enabling AI agents to interact directly with your platform tools
