From Toil To Triumph: Harnessing Agentic AI To Streamline Infrastructure as Code - Jodee Varney, Outshift by Cisco

This talk will explore the transformative potential of GenAI agentic frameworks, using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) as a key example relevant to the CNCF community. While IaC offers benefits in modularity and control, it also presents challenges like maintaining code consistency, managing multiple environments, and troubleshooting IAM policies, creating toil for development teams.

We'll demonstrate how open-source agentic GenAI frameworks can be applied to OpenTofu repositories to streamline pull requests - enhancing consistency and reducing toil. We'll focus on how to construct GenAI agentic teams for each function to achieve useful quality high-context results, emphasizing cost management by allocating resources based on function complexity and impact. By sharing insights, we aim to highlight its broader applicability and seek collaborators for a CNCF project aimed at developing new agentic tools that aid in managing cloud-native environments.
