Kubernetes Deploy Agents Integration

Kubernetes is the open-source standard for container orchestration, automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized workloads across clusters.

Kubernetes Deploy Agents

Benefits with Ory + Kubernetes Deploy Agents Integration

Ory integrates with Kubernetes to give teams a verified protection boundary for AI agents in production. Teams deploy an immutable agent image running the Ory Agent Security runtime package, along with its runtime identity, to any Kubernetes cluster, managed or self-hosted. Every gated tool call is checked against fine-grained authorization to permit or deny the action, and all activity is logged for a complete audit trail. Teams can start in Observe mode to see how agents use their tools, then switch to Enforce mode so agents act only within their authorized permissions.

The fastest way to get started with Ory Agent Security is to sign up for the Ory Network. Install the ory-agent CLI, then create an Agent Security deployment for Kubernetes from the Ory Console or with the CLI from your agent's project directory.

brew install ory/tap/ory-agent

Use Cases

— 03 use cases

Agent IAM

Secures agents running on Kubernetes with a runtime identity, fine-grained authorization on every gated tool call, and complete audit logging.

Explore Agent IAM

CIAM

Lets teams ship customer-facing agents on Kubernetes that act on behalf of end users with Ory-managed authentication and consent, following Ory best practices.

Explore CIAM

B2B IAM

Applies fine-grained authorization to every action agents take for business customers on Kubernetes, with namespace-level separation in shared clusters, and scales with business growth.

Core Functionality

— 06 capabilities

Identity
Deploys an Agent Security runtime identity alongside each agent workload in the cluster.
Authorization
Enforces fine-grained, policy-based access control for every gated tool call an agent makes on Kubernetes.
Secrets
Keeps Agent Security runtime values out of the image and supplies them to the workload through the cluster at deploy time.
Isolation
Runs each agent as an immutable image in a Kubernetes Deployment, on managed or self-hosted clusters.
Audit
Logs complete audit trails for agent sessions, tool invocations, and authorization decisions.
Rollout
Creates the deployment with Ory Deploy or the ory-agent CLI, ships the runtime package, and verifies the protection boundary, with Observe mode for monitoring and Enforce mode for strict permission enforcement.
