Round Table Review of AI Agents: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

AI agents are rapidly moving from experimental demos to practical components of cloud-native platforms—automating operations, accelerating software delivery, and changing how teams interact with infrastructure and data. But as agentic systems become more autonomous, questions around reliability, observability, governance, security, cost, and interoperability become impossible to ignore.

Join this candid round table to examine what is working today, where the hype exceeds reality, and which risks platform teams need to address before scaling AI agents across the enterprise. We will explore how cloud-native ecosystems—including Kubernetes, APIs, open-source projects, and distributed platforms—can enable trustworthy, portable, and manageable agent experiences.

Bring your successes, failures, and hard questions. This is a practical discussion for architects, platform engineers, developers, and ecosystem leaders who want to separate genuine opportunity from operational complexity—and help shape what responsible AI agents in the cloud-native world should look like.
