Building agents for cloud infra: why one bad terraform destroy beats a bad email
Helpful-Man64 · reddit · 2026-09-25
A developer working in cloud infra argues agents for infrastructure differ fundamentally from other domains: mistakes are expensive and often irreversible — a bad email draft is annoying, a bad terraform destroy is a very bad day.
Factors he says matter most here:
- Reversibility and rollback
- Audit logs
- Least-privilege credentials
- Handling multi-cloud APIs that all behave differently
He asks practitioners what broke first when moving from prototype to real environments.
