How to build an agent-ready IDP with open source tools
Details
A portal is just a front door. The real complexity of an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) sits in the backend layer beneath it. As autonomous AI agents begin using your platform, traditional setups built only for human developers face immediate security gaps and operational bottlenecks. Join Sameera Jayasoma and Lakmal Warusawithana, maintainers of the CNCF OSS project OpenChoreo, as they show how to build an agent-ready platform without a multi-year custom build.
In this session, you will learn:
- Platform vs. portal: Why a portal alone is not enough, and how owning the backend execution layer speeds up software delivery.
- Designing for AI agents: How to give AI agents their own identities, limited access, and safety rules when interacting with your APIs, shifting your engineering team from working inside the loop to orchestrating it.
- Practical open source adoption: How to use a modular architecture like OpenChoreo to connect the Kubernetes, CI/CD, and monitoring tools you already run, turning your existing tools into secure, agent-ready golden paths
