The Harness Is the New Runtime - Idit Levine & Keith Babo, Solo.io

Why watch

This keynote explains how agent harnesses are becoming the dominant runtime pattern for deploying agentic AI on Kubernetes, following the same journey containers made from developer machines to production clusters. It covers how harnesses combine AI models with modular runtimes including tools, skills, and plugins, and demonstrates how CNCF ecosystem projects provide identity, policy, and observability for running AI agents in production.
