Exactly.

It would be interesting if just like an AI coding assistant, this would be a DevOPs/SRE/Infra assistant, whereby you can also just do your regular CI/CD/deployments/whatever - and have it make recommendations on caveats based on other architectures, or such.

e.g.

"describe examples for an architecture to accomplish X" and it spits out some examples - then you can choose, and save these "Infra-Prompts" and then later say

"generate a new sand-box based on X and connect it to such-and-such and notify USERA when their environment is available, include a status page, and alert cron and a costing line in the daily CFO report" etc

Couldn't agree more. Imagine if it could look at all the other 30-50 person companies who are running a SAAS and say "teams like yours use ECS + Fargate instead of Kubernetes" (as an example)

So is there already a "stack crawler" - or how does it know their infra?

I don't really know honestly, I'm just a proponent of "information sharing" in these spaces. I work with a few software providers that have a "give-back" clause for modifications, and it's a wildly powerful thing. I'd like to see it in this space too.

If I was implementing it, I would add some sort of survey a few days after the recommendations/queries are made and ask "Did this work, why/why not?", and attempt to train off of that. If you wanted to verify the accuracy, you could implement a test that ensures that things don't change wildly (e.g. if you tell it you're a small business running a SAAS on AWS that it doesn't recommend switching to Azure, or using EKS if you're already on ECS).

We need an AI as Infrastructure (TM) Conference, mayhaps.

It would be great to see AIAI Talks from folks on how well they leveraged AI for streamlining making the world a better, more equitable and connected safe-space place!
