Automating Infrastructure as Code changes with an AI agent
Blog post from CircleCI
The tutorial discusses the emerging trend of intelligent automation in infrastructure management, specifically through the use of agentic AI to automate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) changes. It details the setup of AI agents that combine the reasoning of large language models with cloud platform interfaces to independently generate and manage infrastructure configurations. The guide walks through the process of setting up Kagent, an AI framework for establishing tool servers and AI agents, on a Kubernetes cluster. It illustrates the configuration of tool servers for GitHub and AWS Terraform, enabling the AI agent to generate Terraform configurations and submit pull requests automatically. The tutorial also covers integrating CircleCI for continuous deployment, highlighting the creation of an AI agent capable of orchestrating workflows that manage infrastructure code changes autonomously, with an emphasis on maintaining governance and review processes.
