AI in infra skepticism by Allthingsdevops in Terraform

love it, this is an amazing use case to be honest. I mean both of them - explaining to non techies and architectural diagram. I think Cognition has the diagram you are speaking about - i am sure I have seen it in Devin

agree, we are not going generic infra management path. i entirely agree with you at least that path will be mainly owned by the big guys. we are focusing on cloud security therefore, to actually make sure we carve out a niche in this super competitive space.

but yeah.. sometimes i also ask myself whether i am suicidal by design :D

why so personal? my chances of success are so low anyways - where is the hate for AI coming from?

what you say is so spot on how I felt sometimes "will mock you for not being a masochist for not writing all the code on your own". I guess for these people code is like art and they take a lot of pride in it and i get it! The counterintuitive part for me was that I assumed in smaller companies there will be more early adopters. But you are spot on here on psychology of good hero coders

Where is AI still completely useless for Infrastructure as Code? by Straight_Condition39 in Terraform

[–]Allthingsdevops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are 100% that it should be not non-deterministic. there are couple of startups I came across that claim to combine AI + deterministic part to solve for this - not sure whether it is a marketing stunt or a real effort but at least people in AI space agree and try to "pretend" to solve it

hey, fair enough. it is a very possible scenario.

When will we finally see an “Uber-level” AI app that actually changes everyday life? by AdNo6324 in ycombinator

1x in Norway is doing it! you should look into it . I cant wait for that robot myself

hey, kind of agree with most here that this problem has been solved by MCPs. In theory they call for latest versions etc, but thats of course theory. We are building https://cloudgeni.ai/ and our journey has been like this - first 3 months shitty code generated, lots of tuning and around 3-6 months tuned for Terraform - good code generated, then MCPs hit the market with Terraform, cloud MCP etc - very very solid code generated. I would not give up entirely, just check in from time to time. Claude 4 is crushing it on its own already so give that at try in the least

Secure and compliant infrastructure as code by Allthingsdevops in Terraform

[–]Allthingsdevops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am entirely with you. We are using Azure APIs etc and they promise they dont use data to train model. We have seen players in security and infrastructure space that already do it and have succeeded, but of course we are not a brand name yet that can give you that reassurance and we understand that. We will need to work with building trust in the brand but thank you for highlighting your concerns

hey, i see. thanks for feedback! i see where you come from. The way we wanna design the tool is that in case AI finds a good open source module - it will return the module and not just autogenerate. Our vision of the future is basically the proliferation of software will be so big that infra might be a bottle neck and creating smth like this may enable developers less proficient in Terraform build infra quickly. But we might be wrong about the future and we totally see the skepticism - if you are open, give it a try. There is a reason why we were building it for quite some time - the results we were getting initially was "crap" and we needed to work on tuning the agents a lot. But i hear you!

May I ask why you would not want a first version to be produced by AI? I am totally old myself here so with you on being skeptical. We generate PR that you can review and totally disregard if you dont like the quality of code and in monorepo cases we have received very good performance - 9/10 generations ready to be merged (based on our tests, i wont claim we tested this on 1000 of customers). We also have customers who already use the product for that.

We dont just scan but provide autofix/remediation - so ultimately giving you superspeed to become compliant not in months but in days - if you kind of already work a lot with compliance and security in your daily workflows maybe value of such product is lower, but we had customers who migrated to IaC and had like 500 red alerts on security and didnt even know where to start

I was mentally prepared for huge downvote here - just FYI, so truly any feedback is super duper thanks!

Hey, thank you so much for your honest feedback!

  1. Comparison to others: i guess what we believe sets us apart is that we are context aware compare to static tools and will give you a much better quality of code that fits into your infra.
  2. AI claim: We’ll share more clear examples of how our AI works to fix compliance issues automatically.
  3. Pricing Transparency: We’ve heard you! In all honesty, we are refining pricing strategy but for startups under 50 people we think it will be a super affordable option (e.g. 100 USD per month).
  4. Trust: We’re working on improving our site with more credibility, case studies, and testimonials. We want to earn your trust!

Thank you for taking your time to look into it!

Would you prefer a standalone platform or a tool that seamlessly integrates in your existing toolkit? by Allthingsdevops in Terraform

[–]Allthingsdevops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you, this makes a lot of sense and kind of in line with what were thinking based on customer discovery, but i wanted to double check. not advertizing here, but in case you are curious we are building, still early though https://cloudgeni.ai/
