As platform engineering teams look to operationalize AI, the challenge isn’t replacing Kubernetes control planes; it’s extending them safely. In this Cloud Native Live session, we’ll show how Crossplane 2.0 provides a strong foundation for AI-assisted platform engineering on Kubernetes.

We’ll introduce Crossplane’s new primitives, including Operations, and demonstrate how they can be combined with large language models to build intelligent control loops. Through live demos, we’ll explore a zero-code, plain-English “controller” implemented as an LLM, and an AI-driven database control plane that analyzes real infrastructure metrics to make conservative, auditable scaling decisions.

This session is for platform engineers and Kubernetes practitioners interested in practical, declarative ways to augment their platforms with AI, grounded in real infrastructure, not hype.
