Agent security path
Threat model → MCP checklist → audit trail → supply-chain kill-switch.
Comparisons and checklists for GPU admission, MCP security, LLM observability, and serving stacks — written from production platform work.
Reading paths
Ordered sequences across hubs — filter the library or open the next step.
Threat model → MCP checklist → audit trail → supply-chain kill-switch.
Pick a scheduler model, then put policy on the AdmissionCheck.
Engine vs platform → scale on queue → budget before the GPU → observe.
Split completion routing from tool admission; observe both.
Operating model first; promote only when policy can BLOCK.
Library
Practical guides on GPU admission, BlastGuard kill-switches, MCP and agent security, LLM vs MCP gateways, inference budgets, Argo CD vs Flux, vLLM autoscaling with KEDA, and KServe versus vLLM.
LLM gateways govern model traffic; MCP gates control tool calls. Different boundaries and policies, with files from ai-runtime-platform and ASC.
Practical OpenTelemetry for LLMs: GenAI semantic conventions, token usage metrics, vLLM Prometheus metrics and a token cost pipeline on Kubernetes.
Argo CD vs Flux on Kubernetes: reconciliation models, Application vs HelmRelease, self-heal and prune, plus kind lab timings from a public duel repo.
Record identity, policy, verdict, approvals and cost for every AI agent tool call. OpenTelemetry spans, digests and evidence chains on Kubernetes.
Blast-radius policy turns SBOM, VEX and exposure into ALLOW / WARN / BLOCK — fail closed when inventory is incomplete.
A practical MCP security checklist for agents on Kubernetes: identity, token audience, tool pinning, egress, sandboxing, approvals and audit evidence.
Each risk in the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications mapped to Kubernetes controls you can enforce: identity, admission, egress, sandboxing, audit.
Per-team inference budgets on the gateway path: reserve estimated cost before chat completion, settle after, fail closed. Status from ai-runtime-platform.
KServe vs vLLM on Kubernetes: what each layer does, how KServe runs vLLM, and when a plain vLLM Deployment is enough.
Scale vLLM on Kubernetes with KEDA on Prometheus queue metrics: ScaledObject shape, vllm:num_requests_waiting, and how this relates to KServe autoscaling.
How a Kueue AdmissionCheck enforces GPU flavors, FinOps labels, registry allowlists and soft quotas — with an evidence envelope per decision.
Compare Kueue, Volcano and KAI Scheduler for GPU batch jobs: admission layer vs scheduler, gang scheduling, inference queues and when to use each.
