KubeCon 2025 Atlanta is here! For the next four days, Atlanta is the undisputed center of the cloud native universe. The buzz is palpable, but this year, one question seems to be hanging over every keynote, session, and hallway track: AI.
We've all seen the impressive demos. But as developers and engineers, we have to ask the hard questions. Can AI actually help us ship code better? Can it make our complex CI/CD pipelines safer, faster, and more intelligent? Or is it just another layer of hype we have to manage?
At Harness, we believe AI is the key to solving software delivery's biggest challenges. And we're not just talking about it—we're here to show you the code with Harness AI, purpose-built to bring intelligence and automation to every step of the delivery process.
⚡ AI in Action: The Can't-Miss Talk at the Google Booth
We are thrilled to team up with Google Cloud to present a special lightning talk on Agentic AI and its practical use in CI/CD. This is where the hype stops and the engineering begins.
Join our Director of Product Marketing, Chinmay Gaikwad, for this deep-dive session.
- Talk: Creating Enterprise-ready CI/CD using Agentic AI
- Where: Google Cloud Booth 200
- When: Tuesday, November 11th, at 1:00 PM ET (1:00 – 1:15 PM)
Chinmay will be on hand to demonstrate how Agentic AI is moving from a concept to a practical, powerful tool for building and securing enterprise-grade pipelines. Be sure to stop by, ask questions, and get personalized guidance.
