Agentic‑Kube is a cooperative multi‑agent reinforcement learning framework for Kubernetes pod placement that splits the multi‑objective scheduling problem into cost minimisation, anti‑affinity fault tolerance, and vector resource balancing, each handled by a dedicated sub‑agent. It uses a bipartite Graph Convolutional Network to model host‑pod dependencies, a two‑stage monotonic QMIX value factorisation network for joint action coherence, and a plurality voting consensus with action feasibility masking. Evaluations on Google Kubernetes Engine and large‑scale clusters show Pareto‑efficient placements, a 53% reduction in anti‑affinity collisions, a 65% spot instance allocation ratio, and sub‑30 ms decision latencies up to 1,000 nodes without container restarts.
