The AI-Enhanced Platform Engineer: A 34-Component CNCF IDP, Built by an Agent

Have you wondered what modern, AI-enhanced DevOps looks like in 2026? Building platforms with AI is the norm now, so let's do it together.
In this hands-on tutorial we build a 34-component, CNCF-based IDP live, on a Kubernetes cluster I provide. You bring your own agentic CLI. I demo Claude Code. I hand you the spec file and we go phase by phase, from Kubernetes to Argo and up through the full stack to the AI gateway. Whatever CLI you brought, the spec drives the result.
You walk away knowing what the modern AI DevOps and SRE role feels like in practice. You can drive an agentic CLI against a spec to stand up a CNCF platform and validate what it built instead of trusting it. You can see the higher-order work that opens up once the low-level toil is handled. And you leave with a clear picture of the skill set an engineer actually needs in 2026 and beyond.
