An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
We last covered Istio service mesh champion Solo.io in March 2024.
More recently, the company has launched the open-source Agent Gateway, a lightweight proxy that supports agent-to-agent (A2A) and model context protocol (MCP) interactions among AI agents and between agents and LLMs.
Instead of extending Istio to support AI agents, Solo.io built the Agent Gateway from the ground up in Rust to avoid legacy protocol limitations.
Solo.io is also developing Kagent, an open-source agentic AI framework for Kubernetes, which supports the Agent Gateway.
Both the Agent Gateway and Kagent, in turn, support the Community AI Platform Engineering (CAIPE) multi-agentic AI system (MAS) which aims to empower platform engineering teams to build and manage the infrastructure necessary to support agentic AI.
