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!
