CNCF June Meetup

This workshop explores how Docker streamlines the development, deployment, and management of AI applications through containerization. We will also delve into the concept of Multi-Container Pods (MCP) within the Docker ecosystem (potentially using tools like Docker Compose or in the context of container orchestration like Kubernetes), understanding how to effectively manage and orchestrate related containers for complex AI workflows.

This workshop, led by Jay Thakkar, will provide a concise introduction to Neo4j, a leading graph database. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of graph data modeling principles and learn the basics of querying data using Neo4j's Cypher query language. Expect a practical overview to get you started with leveraging the power of graph databases for connected data.

Where does building with AI truly begin? Often, it starts with a curious question and a prototype idea. In this hands-on session, we’ll explore how to go from a simple prompt in Google AI Studio to a fully functional AI agent using the Agent Development Kit (ADK).

We’ll kick things off with a real-world use case—planning a kitchen renovation using Gemini to generate a detailed renovation plan. But we won't stop there. You’ll learn how to scale that prototype into an autonomous AI agent capable of generating structured proposal documents, storing them in Cloud Storage, and interacting via Cloud Shell or the Agent Web Output interface.

You’ll walk away understanding how ADK empowers developers to build modular, scalable, and autonomous Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) that can solve complex, real-world problems—without writing mountains of boilerplate code.

Whether you're a beginner exploring AI tooling or an experienced developer seeking practical ways to leverage GenAI in business workflows, this lab is your launchpad into the world of intelligent agents.

This hands-on workshop dives deep into Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA), an open-source component that extends Kubernetes' native autoscaling capabilities. Participants will learn how to efficiently scale their applications based on external events, optimizing resource utilization, reducing costs, and improving application responsiveness. Through a combination of theoretical concepts and practical labs, attendees will gain the skills to implement, configure, and troubleshoot KEDA in their Kubernetes environments.
