So is this really just focused about those things on the left and you're showing how it interacts? Or is this actually helping us implement the rest of this puzzle? I was a little confused by that.

Lakmal WarusawithanaGUEST
Yeah, I think the main idea behind having the unified control plane across all these capabilities Platform engineers or developers or even now AI agents can interact with control plane via different protocols.

Lakmal WarusawithanaGUEST
And then control plane do the orchestration across all these other planes.

Lakmal WarusawithanaGUEST
Like you mentioned, the data plane with the CILIUM network policy with the SCALE 0, with the CADA.

Lakmal WarusawithanaGUEST
All these things can orchestrate using a control plane with the governance-enforced to the control pane.

Lakmal WarusawithanaGUEST
So what we have seen as a problem, even we expose all these services to the end user, it can be a platform engineer, it can be a developer, then you can't enforce the governance.

What parts of summarization and human judgment do they do well and what context do they need? But it feels like the rest of this system is the rest of this system to help them with the context problem because that always feels like a really hard problem right now around what context do I need to give my agent to make it useful and not hallucinate and how do I get at that stuff at the time it needs it?
