kagent (OSS) on AKS
de Solo.io
Open source, Kubernetes-native framework for building and running AI agents, with Solo.io support.
kagent (provided by Solo.io) is an open source, Kubernetes-native framework for building, running, and managing AI agents. It brings a declarative controller for agents and tools, MCP tool serving, a web UI, and pluggable LLM providers to Azure Kubernetes Service, with enterprise support from Solo.io.
Target Audience and Use Cases
Platform and AI engineering teams, DevOps engineers, and SREs running agentic and LLM workloads on Kubernetes who want a native, declarative way to operate AI agents.
Key Benefits
Declarative Kubernetes-native agents, MCP tool serving via kmcp, a built-in web UI, pluggable LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama), and a fully supported distribution from Solo.io.
Prerequisites
An AKS cluster and an LLM provider API key. After install, create the provider Secret and
ModelConfig in the kagent namespace (see
https://kagent.dev/docs/getting-started/configuring-providers). kagent will not run agents
until a provider is configured.
