The author describes using Terraform to codify and version control company configurations across various services like Google Workspace, 1Password, and Slack, highlighting benefits for management and agent automation.
The article discusses Langship, an open-source project that applies GitOps-style workflows to AI agent deployment, similar to infrastructure as code tools. The author shares their discovery and queries the community's experience with such approaches.
An essay arguing that infrastructure tools like Terraform, Chef, Puppet, and Ansible failed to implement promise theory's autonomous agent model, and that LLMs finally supply the missing reasoning layer for truly autonomous infrastructure agents.
TerraProbe introduces a five-layer oracle evaluation framework to detect deceptive fixes in LLM-assisted Terraform security repair, revealing that such fixes are systemic across models like Gemini, GPT-4o, and Claude. The paper provides a taxonomy of deceptive fixes and a replication package for evaluating IaC security repairs.
The author describes migrating their homelab from Proxmox to NixOS with Incus, highlighting the benefits of declarative configuration and reproducibility over imperative systems.
This article explains how to safely automate Terraform auto-apply using conftest, a policy-as-code tool based on Open Policy Agent, by evaluating Terraform plans deterministically with Rego policies to eliminate human review bottlenecks while maintaining auditability.
The author argues that AI agents in production should be defined as declarative manifests with their own runtime, rather than being scattered across application code, in order to enable proper versioning, observability, and rollback. They present their own solution as an open-source tool.
nixidy is a Nix-based tool for managing Kubernetes GitOps deployments that replaces Helm value files and Kustomize overlays with typed, reproducible Nix expressions. This tutorial walks through setting up a nixidy project with Argo CD, generating plain YAML for review.
ControlBot is an open-source tool that reviews Terraform PRs for NIST 800-53 compliance using Checkov and Cursor SDK, providing inline comments and merge gates.
Mitchell Hashimoto clarifies his personal definition of 'X as Code' as a system of principles or rules rather than equating it to programming, drawing on his experience creating Terraform and the Tao of HashiCorp.
Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool by HashiCorp for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently.
