Building a Self-Managed Kubernetes Experience with kubectl-ai - Rasheed Mudasiru

Description

Kubernetes is powerful but interacting with it remains intimidating for many developers and operators. With [kubectl-ai](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubectl-ai), Google Cloud has introduced a new paradigm, using natural language to simplify cluster operations through AI. But what if this tool could evolve from assistant to autonomous agent? In this talk, we will explore how to extend the capabilities of kubectl-ai to build a self-managing Kubernetes system powered by large language models like Gemini. Participants will see how to move from command suggestions to context-aware deployment management, self-healing automation, and intelligent debugging, all driven by natural language and AI logic. Through live demos and real-world scenarios, we will showcase how AI can transform DevOps workflows, reduce operational load, and bring cloud-native automation into the AI era with tools built right into your CLI.
