The premise of Foyle is that you can solve this problem with runbooks that walk you through the steps to deploy your app; in this case setting up appropriate networking. Problem is no one wants to read or write documentation. So Foyle tries to learn by observing what commands people do. So in this case, an expert (e.g. someone on the infra/platform team) deploys an app or troubleshoots a networking problem and they do this by creating a notebook which contains some exposition and the commands. Foyle learns from this. So now when an app developer goes to deploy a new app, they start a document "Deploy Caribou" and Foyle starts suggesting the steps and commands to deploy it.

Why would an expert work towards making himself redundant?
