Agentic AI: building autonomous systems for developers

Anshul Jindal , Sebastian Mahr

What happens when LLMs become the compute engine for fully autonomous systems? Discover how to securely deploy sandboxed agentic workflows that automatically diagnose and resolve Kubernetes faults.

#1 about 3 min

Transitioning toward autonomous software and secure agents

Software is evolving to perform complex tasks autonomously on behalf of users.

#2 about 2 min

Evolution from prompt engineering to harness engineering

Managing AI progressed from optimizing prompts and context windows to application-level harness engineering.

#3 about 4 min

Understanding agent internal loops and context compaction

Agents execute continuous loops of reasoning, action, and observation while compacting contexts to save memory limits.

#4 about 3 min

Utilizing harness frameworks as agent operating systems

Harness ecosystems act as operating systems that orchestrate continuous self-improvement loops for AI models.

#5 about 3 min

Addressing deployment challenges for production agent systems

Deploying production agents involves solving issues with latency, observability, and managing secure boundaries on kubernetes.

#6 about 2 min

Mitigating security risks and multitenancy in autonomous agents

Unrestricted agents pose critical risks involving arbitrary code execution, sensitive data exposure, and unpredictable actions.

#7 about 3 min

Securing agent runtimes with open shell sandboxing

An open shell insulates execution environments by strictly enforcing policies around file paths and network tools.

#8 about 4 min

Deploying sandboxed agent architectures on kubernetes clusters

Incorporating sandboxes within containerized clusters isolates agent tasks while enabling standard security telemetry protocols.

#9 about 5 min

Demonstrating an autonomous site reliability agent fixing code

An autonomous agent isolates system faults via log analysis and deploys functional code patches through pull requests.

#10 about 2 min

Essential principles for secure agent deployments

Validating configurations and utilizing open source tools prevents exposing local or production systems to untrusted actions.

#11 about 3 min

Exploring sandboxing alternatives and managing unpredictable agent actions

Handling system availability requires backup model providers and strict policies to contain non-deterministic actions safely.
