Generative AI is becoming integral to infrastructure as code (IaC) workflows, being utilized by developers for faster, easier coding of configurations. Originally a grassroots movement among developers, tools like ChatGPT and Copilot now help shape infrastructure decisions more broadly, even identifying deployment errors. However, this increased efficiency comes with risks, including misconfigurations and unintentional exposure of sensitive APIs, highlighting the need for oversight as AI becomes embedded in the development process.
"A lot of developers I know, especially those who aren't IaC experts, are leaning on ChatGPT or Copilot to generate Terraform or Ansible configs."
"AI reduces the threshold for devs to write configs without deep knowledge. Before AI, writing production-ready Kubernetes or Terraform config was for SREs, DevOps, infra teams."
