CNCF — Nov 10, 2026 — talk
Why watch
Evan Shortiss demonstrates how Red Hat built an AI Catalog inside Backstage to transform developer portals into a unified marketplace for AI assets like agents and MCP servers. The talk shows a live prototype where developers can browse, read capabilities, and install AI tools directly without searching through GitHub or Slack. This is essential viewing for platform engineers building internal developer platforms who want to make AI tooling discoverable and governable.
