Join Google and the Platform Engineering Community for an afternoon of building. We'll start with why agent workloads break your cluster's assumptions, from cold starts to burst capacity to GKE's 250,000-node footprint. We'll debate the emerging patterns with your peers, then build the layers yourself including the agent harness on Gemini CLI, kubectl-ai and GKE's managed MCP server, locked into gVisor-isolated sandboxes safe enough for untrusted, LLM-generated code. We’'ll finish at the roundtables and the networking reception, where you can share your war stories, your wins, your failures and your open questions over a drink.
Venue: Civo Tech Junction, First Floor, 32-37 Cowper St, London EC2A 4AW, United Kingdom
👷Who it's for: You, if you build, run or architect the platforms your agents will live on. Platform and AI engineers, agent architects, and platform leaders.
📚What you'll learn: What it actually takes to run an Agentic Development Platform in production: the infrastructure that survives agent workloads, the harness that runs them, and the governance that makes it safe to turn untrusted, LLM-generated code loose++
🏗️What you'll build: Your own agent harness on Gemini CLI, kubectl-ai and GKE's managed MCP server, running inside gVisor-isolated sandboxes
