Agent Sprawl Is Here. Your IaC Platform Is the Answer.

AI agents are becoming increasingly prevalent in enterprises, with 96% of companies running them in production, yet only 12% have a centralized management system, posing significant security challenges. Platform teams face the challenge of allowing developers to deploy these agents quickly while maintaining control and coherence of the infrastructure. As the proliferation of AI agents mirrors past sprawl issues like "Secrets Sprawl," the solution lies in integrating these AI agents into existing infrastructure-as-code (IaC) frameworks, which provide the necessary governance, audit trails, policy enforcement, and human oversight. By leveraging tools like Pulumi, platform engineers can ensure that AI agents inherit the same guardrails and governance structures as human-induced changes, thus maintaining security and compliance while enabling developers to work efficiently. This approach allows enterprises to harness the benefits of AI agents without compromising on security, governance, or operational control.
