Cake Agents

Cake Agents runs a control plane in Kubernetes and launches per-session data plane pods for interactive agent work. Use these guides based on how you operate Cake Agents:

• Getting Started with the Console for existing Cake platform customers who sign up for the Cake Console and register a Kubernetes instance from it.
• Getting Started with Kubernetes for teams comfortable managing clusters and wanting a direct Helm install without the Console.
• Core Concepts for the platform model, architecture diagram, and component relationships.
