Official Description
You get a Kubernetes cluster with an Internal Developer Platform already running: ArgoCD for GitOps,
Kyverno for admission control, Falco for runtime detection, Prometheus for observability. Everything
is instrumented. Everything is enforced. You also get an AI agent with cluster access. Your job is
to get the agent to break something. Deploy a non-compliant workload. Escalate privileges. Modify
infrastructure outside Git. Exfiltrate data through an agent response. Some of you will fail because
the governance stack catches it. Some of you will succeed because it doesn't. Afterward we regroup
and map what got blocked, what slipped through, and why. The 80% that existing CNCF tools already
govern becomes obvious. The 20% gap where agent-specific tooling is missing becomes undeniable. You
leave with a concrete governance map and the exact list of failure modes your own platform probably
isn't covering yet.
