OpenChoreo has officially joined the CNCF Sandbox, marking a major milestone in its evolution from a corporate initiative to a community-driven platform engineering powerhouse. In this deep-dive session from WSO2 Tech Conference 2026, we go beyond the hype to showcase a fully operational Internal Developer Platform (IDP) running on a local laptop. Explore OpenChoreo’s modular Plane architecture—Control, Data, Build, and Observability—and see how its AI-native foundation empowers agents to write code, deploy applications, and manage entire environments using natural language. 🔑 Key Takeaways ✅ CNCF Sandbox Milestone – Why joining the Cloud Native Computing Foundation matters for the community and ecosystem ✅ IDP in a Box – Spin up a complete developer portal, CI/CD pipeline, and observability stack locally using Docker and Helm ✅ The Power of Planes – Decoupled architecture for modern platform engineering: • Control Plane – Central brain coordinating distributed Kubernetes clusters • Data Plane – Where workloads and agents run • Build & Observability Planes – Integrates Argo Workflows, Prometheus, OpenSearch, and more ✅ AI-Native Operations – Using MCP (Model Context Protocol) to allow LLMs to manage clusters securely ✅ Declarative GitOps – Manage platform state as Kubernetes CRDs for full reproducibility ✅ Component Types & Traits – Define type-safe, scalable templates like “Web App” + “Scale-to-Zero” 🏗️ The OpenChoreo Architecture OpenChoreo transforms Kubernetes from a deployment target into a full-service developer platform. By layering a Backstage-powered portal over declarative GitOps and AI-native control paths, it provides a Golden Path for developers while giving platform engineers full control and visibility. 👉 Watch now to discover how OpenChoreo is redefining platform engineering for the AI era. #OpenChoreo #wso2 #platformengineering #gitops #ai #backstage #cloudnative #TechConference2026
