It does sound cool and as an infra nerd myself it reads sensible, I just don't see why I would want another abstraction layer between my cloud deployments being rolled out and the tf/hcl files that I maintain. Why would I want to install another interface between me, the planfile and the running environment? Genuine question
It’s opinionated and built around a reference architecture- think it kind of like using rails or phoenix instead of just writing ruby or elixir. LLM’s are fantastic syntax generators, but they have no real opinions on architecture or finops.
Oh so more an orchestration interface with sane defaults for an LLM to use as a reference when implementing deployment changes, especially new rollouts?
It seems to be aimed at small to medium sized cloud deployments and more as a starting point to get customers up and running?
Because I'm already administratrating a large AWS environment and the networking, especially as regards route tables, transit gateways, DMZs and extensive security group rules managed in multiple distinct layers across teams (and don't even get me started on IAM and Active Directory Forest) don't seem to fit into the abstraction layer I'm seeing.
Write it in English to the best of your ability and then use it with a prompt along the lines of...
Identify parts of the following readme that need to be looked at for consistency, tone, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization issues.
This is to be a readme file for a project on GitHub used by technical people who are familiar with any jargon being used.
Suggest any changes to those by identifying the full passage the fix is in along with the correction.
Note that this works to identify the issues and have you change them to what would be correct for what you're writing without having it do the writing for you and inserting the "claudisms".
Hetzner is awesome, I prefer it to aws for personal projects, feel free to analyze my modularized instance setup with an LLM and rip out what you need, it's all hand built, most of the engineering went into cloud-init and network security - before machines could generate the same in hours lul
dig into the repo and you'll find libraries of opentofu that are quite opinionated - the point of the plugin is to inject opinions that the agents don't have.
The guy in the image doesn't look very euphoric, not even in a subtle way. Sorry, not the neckbeard plugin I was looking for. Mine must be influenced by aalewis.
Related tangent: earlier today I discovered https://disco.cloud, which may speak to the same audience while focusing more on "self-hosted" PaaS (ie, any VPS) vs scaffolding for AWS/GCP/Azure.

Hetnzer server for 25usd/month and you have plenty more space to do more stuff and scale

Re scaffolding, that’s exactly it - Disco deployments are “just” Docker images, so they’re fully portable and cloud/infra agnostic.
