agentgateway (OSS) on AKS
بواسطة Solo.io
Open source AI-native gateway for agents, MCP tools, and LLMs, with Solo.io enterprise support.
agentgateway (OSS) on AKS is an open source, AI-native data plane for connecting agents, MCP tools, and LLMs, delivered as an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster extension with enterprise support from Solo.io. Built on the Kubernetes Gateway API, it brings protocol-aware routing for agentic traffic to your AKS clusters without the overhead of assembling and maintaining the components yourself.
The extension installs the agentgateway control plane and CRDs into your cluster and is managed through the standard AKS extension lifecycle, giving you a consistent install, upgrade, and removal experience directly from Azure.
Target audience and use cases
Platform and AI engineering teams, DevOps engineers, and security professionals running agentic and LLM workloads on AKS. It suits organizations across finance, healthcare, retail, and technology that need secure, observable, protocol-aware connectivity for AI traffic, including routing to MCP tools, agent-to-agent (A2A) communication, and LLM providers.
Key capabilities
- Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent (A2A) support
- LLM routing, failover, and prompt guards
- Built on the Kubernetes Gateway API, no proprietary CRD lock-in
- Observability with metrics and distributed tracing
- Zero-trust security for agent and tool traffic
Prerequisites
An AKS cluster and the upstream Kubernetes Gateway API CRDs (v1.5.0 or later). Foundational Kubernetes knowledge is recommended.
