What is Google ADK for AI agents?

Google's open-source Python kit for building multi-agent systems—modular, stateful, integrates Gemini and tools like Search.

How to deploy ADK agents to AWS EKS?

Clone gemini-cli-aws repo, source init.sh, use adk run locally then deploy scripts—handles Python env, Gemini auth, EKS cluster push.

Does ADK work fully cross-cloud without Google Cloud?

Yes for hosting (e.g., AWS EKS), but Gemini LLM calls need Google API keys—true independence

⚡ Key Takeaways

Google ADK enables Python-based multimodal AI agents deployable to AWS EKS, but experimental features warn of instability. 𝕏
Toolchain hell: pyenv, nvm, Docker managers, AWS/Gemini auth—real work to untangle. 𝕏
Cross-cloud promise shines in demo, but profits flow to Google (Gemini) and AWS (EKS); lock-in lurks via APIs. 𝕏
