Tools and utilities

  • kubectl tree: see which Kubernetes objects own which

    kubectl tree is a kubectl plugin that follows ownerReferences and prints the whole object tree under a Deployment or custom resource, so you can see what created what.

  • tfplanctx: compress Terraform plans for AI agents

    tfplanctx turns a Terraform plan into a short, grep-friendly summary so coding agents can review what will change without burning context on raw plan output.

  • kpf: a terminal UI for kubectl port-forward

    kpf is a terminal UI around kubectl port-forward that lets you pick a service from a list and reconnects automatically when a pod restarts or your laptop wakes up.

  • NetObserv Operator

    NetObserv deploys an eBPF agent on every node to capture network flows, enrich them with Kubernetes metadata, and export to Loki, Prometheus, Kafka, or IPFIX — with a web console showing topology, raw flows, and traffic metrics.

  • Hermes Agent Operator: run Hermes AI agents on Kubernetes

    Hermes Agent Operator runs Hermes AI agents on Kubernetes as custom resources, so each agent's config, skills and workspace live in one manifest instead of drifting on someone's laptop.

Building Platforms for AI Agents
Building Platforms for AI Agents

Non-deterministic agents pose specific challenges for platform teams in observability, state management, governance, and trust.

Mauricio (Salaboy) Salatino explains why agentic applications behave like distributed multi-agent systems. His test assigned agents to take an order, cook the pizza, deliver it, and charge the customer. One order crossed 15 containers and produced 200 traces.

In this interview:

  • Why agent frameworks can recreate monolith scaling and resource contention
  • How OpenTelemetry data can measure agent behavior and trust over time
  • Why narrowly scoped agents are safer than agents that follow long sequences
  • How the platform can become the learning layer that feeds better context back to LLMs
