Consonant — Service mesh for agent systems

Why Consonant?

Unlike local Python scripts, Consonant gives your agents a production-grade home. You get auto-scaling, distributed tracing, and hard resource isolation from the very first command.

Step 1: Install the CLI

The `cons` CLI is your gateway to the agent cluster. It handles everything from deployment to log tailing and policy management.

bash

curl -sL https://get.consonant.ai/install | bash

Step 2: Initialize Your Cluster

Consonant runs wherever Kubernetes runs. For your first time, we recommend a local developer setup (Kind, Minikube, or Docker Desktop).

Local Quickstart

bash

cons init --local

This single command installs the Manager, Planner, and Observability stack into the consonant-system namespace.

Production Installation

For EKS, GKE, or AKS clusters, use our official Helm chart for fine-grained control over resource limits and ingress.

bash

helm repo add consonant https://charts.consonant.ai
helm repo update
helm install consonant consonant/control-plane \
  --namespace consonant-system \
  --create-namespace

Step 3: Verify & Access

Ensure your control plane is healthy before deploying your first agent.

bash

cons status

Success: Your local cluster is ready. Consonant is now watching for agent manifests.

Deploy Your First Agent

Turn a simple Python script into a managed KAgent.
