Agentic systems are rapidly moving from experimentation into real production workloads. Cloud native teams are now being asked to connect models to real tools, data, and workflows in reliable, secure ways—without relying on brittle, one-off integrations. As MCP emerges as a shared, interoperable layer under vendor-neutral stewardship, Agentics Day provides a focused space for the community to exchange real-world implementations and shape best practices while the ecosystem is still evolving.
Who will get the most out of attending this event?
Platform, SRE, and infrastructure teams who expect to operate or secure agentic capabilities will find this event especially valuable. Protocols like MCP sit at the boundary between models and sensitive systems, making operational practices, governance, and security considerations critical early on.
Builders creating agents, tool servers, and internal integrations will also benefit. A shared protocol model promises “build once, integrate across clients,” reducing the need to maintain vendor-specific connectors.
Open source maintainers and contributors interested in shaping how this layer evolves under neutral governance will find a meaningful opportunity to participate in defining interoperability patterns and shared conventions as standards mature.
What is new and different this year?
Agentics Day is intentionally narrow and deep. Rather than covering the full spectrum of Kubernetes and cloud native topics, it concentrates specifically on the practical deployment of agents and the emerging infrastructure that supports them.
With MCP and related building blocks moving under vendor-neutral stewardship, this is a pivotal moment for coordination. The event focuses not just on what agentic systems are, but on how to implement them responsibly and effectively in production environments while governance and operating patterns are still being defined.
What will the day look like?
Agentics Day is a half-day, community-driven event featuring more than ten talks centered on MCP and AI agents. Sessions are designed to explore real-world implementations, lessons learned, and practical deployment considerations.
In addition to technical talks, the agenda includes dedicated time for networking and discussion. The goal is to create space not only to learn, but also to connect with others working on similar challenges and to contribute to shaping shared practices within the broader cloud native ecosystem.
Should I do any homework first?
While no prior knowledge is required, a bit of preparation can help conversations land more quickly. Reviewing a high-level overview of MCP and its core concept—standardized connections between AI applications and external systems—will provide useful context.
Experimenting with a reference implementation (such as goose) can also help ground the day’s discussions in practical experience. Those interested in agent-driven development workflows may also benefit from familiarizing themselves with emerging open formats that guide coding agents and contribute to the broader open agentic ecosystem.
Find your community!
Agentics Day creates a dedicated space for developers, practitioners, and contributors to converge around shared patterns and lessons learned. As protocols increasingly become long-lived infrastructure, the cost of fragmentation grows. This event reinforces the cloud native approach of scaling ecosystems through open standards, neutral governance, and strong community feedback loops.
Attendees should leave with a clearer mental model of MCP and related agentic protocols, an understanding of the problems they are designed to solve, and a more production-oriented perspective on what “good” looks like as standards evolve from experimentation to durable infrastructure.
