This hands-on tutorial guides attendees through building a Community AI Platform Engineering (CAIPE), an open-source, Multi-Agentic AI System on Kubernetes. CAIPE serves as a supervisor “deep-agent,” orchestrating sub-agents that can be either kagent-managed or self-provided.

Participants will deploy CAIPE on a Kubernetes cluster alongside kagent, connect it to MCP tools via agentgateway (including multiplexing multiple MCP servers behind a single endpoint), and assemble end-to-end workflows for platform operations such as CI/CD and SRE use cases.

The workshop will demonstrate integration and authentication with Keycloak and developer tooling like Backstage using the agentforge plugin. Attendees will also explore connecting agents via A2A, enabling long-running, cross-agent workflows. By the end, participants will leave with a reference blueprint, manifests, and security and observability patterns to bootstrap their own community AI platform.
