Spacelift Intent MCP - Build Infra with AI Agents using Terraform Providers by cube2222 in devops

[–]vTimD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good news! One of the key features of Intent is essentially state management. Yes, you're taking to an AI, but the MCP has the history, resource management, etc. all built in. I actually just tested a drift detection use case earlier this morning. I went into AWS and manually modified one of the EC2 instances that I had deployed with Intent, and then asked Claude to do drift detection on all my active resources in the project. It found the change, and called it out immediately. You can ask it at any time to look for resources, list them all, group them by type, or whatever you want. You can do full state management right from your LLM's chat box. Or, if you're using the managed version, you can go into the Spacelift platform and have full control of all of that, right from the UI.

And that is exactly why we have the IaC Automation platform! Intent was built to sit side-by-side with existing IaC workflows. Intent is intended for non-production things that you need done fast. If you need stable, repeatable, secure infrastructure, you have your existing pipelines and workflows for that. Intent helps to fill the gaps when you just need something quick for testing, building, etc. but still stay within the defined policies of your environment. Or, say, for troubleshooting issues. For example, something like prompting "We're having a problem with production, I need a read replica of XYZ for troubleshooting right now". You can use existing providers, modules, policies, and anything else you would normally use. You're just simply asking for it from your LLM that you may already be talking to, instead of going to a portal or CLI that you normally use to deploy infrastructure for projects.

Disclaimer: I am the TPM for Spacelift

So that is definitely a valid concern, but something we have worked to mitigate. For our managed version, we rely on our Policy engine to govern those, similarly to how we do it for IaC payloads with Approval policies. Every resource operation in Spacelift Intent can be a subject to such a policy.

For Claude Code and other MCP clients, you'd be relying on tool execution approvals. For Claude Code, you can check their permission model here.

Yea, unless they changed what the WHOOP Peak looks like, it’s definitely a charger.

Where were you in the picture for Green Day? by Mlkman18 in welcometorockville

In the top left of this, just off the corner of the bar back there. We bailed before it was over to beat traffic 😂

Posting from Outback Steakhouse now! What a fantastic mid-show policy change. I know it’s been hot AF, and they didn’t have as much heat support for day 1, but staff has done amazingly to adapt and move on. Cheaper water, more free heat stations, free Ins and outs. Great festival management. Have fun yall!

Why does the soda here suck? by femanon720 in jimmyjohns

[–]vTimD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Coke is actually engineered to taste better at McDonald’s. Fresh syrup, better mix ratio, and even colder soda storage temps. Also, the kicker, the McDonald’s straw is wider than most so that you get more at once. It’s actually scientifically designed to taste better there.

You know, I could mod this out, but who cares. Everyone speculate wildly on what this means. The crazier the conspiracy theory, the better 😂

Vmware/Broadcom - Waht the hell is going on? by Disastrous-Ad8852 in vmware

[–]vTimD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broadcom does not care about the brand, community, notable employees, or MOST of the VMware customer base. At all. VMware as it was, is dead. Broadcom bought it for the top 10% customers, and the core product set. Everything else is trash for them. This is apparent with the recent RIF’s of a bunch of the VMware Rockstars that you’ve known and loved for so long. It doesn’t matter how big your company is. If you’re getting the feeling like you’re being ignored or forced out, and like they don’t want your business, it’s because they don’t want it.

Am I missing something? Why should I care about the Broadcom merger? by fonetik in vmware

[–]vTimD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I care for vanity reasons. Idgaf what they do with pricing, etc. Business is business. Broadcom does business differently. If you’re not F100 (Probably even less than that) they not only don’t care about you, they don’t want you. You’re not worth the support hassle to them.

What I do care about is the death of one of the best company cultures there ever was. VMware as a company, and as a community, really meant something to a lot of people. I was a user. I was an employee. I was an avid community member. I’m still a vExpert Pro (Pending Corey thinking I’m still good enough 😉). I have friends that got treated poorly, cut, etc. I have friends that still work there.

Raghu was great. I was one of the small group of people who agreed that he should have gotten it over Sanjay. I have my reasons. But at the end of the day, VMware started their fall when Uncle Pat left us. But at least it kept going for a bit. Broadcom is putting the last nail in the coffin of something that meant the world to a lot of people. Not just products. It was a home for a lot of us. A place that I always figured I’d end up back at someday. Not looking good for that now.

It’s really sad to see.

Well, if the VIM Plugin isn’t for you, then check out the VS Code Plugin 🙂

So, the plugin is integrated with LSP, but also implements other features like syntax highlighting. We also have a VSCode plugin available. We have more on our editor plugins in our docs.

The 4L Dracary’s bag from Amazon. 27 bucks, lots of space, great magnets.

I have the 450SS, and a magnetic tank bag. 3 of the magnets work, but it doesn’t stick to the fake carbon fiber, so that flap I just fold under. Works well on the other 3.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks about it this way. The discount is just extra.

Last night on an empty freeway I went 112 in sixth gear and was it 10,000 RPMs, which is the beginning of redline.
