Agents write Terraform. Humans merge.
Ticket queues don't scale. Platforms do.

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

I built a Cloud Engineer Agent so app teams stop waiting on us. These are Enterprise production workloads.

New workloads used to mean a custom AWS build and a ticket pile. IT, Security, Networking, and FinOps showed up at the end. Standards drifted. We were the bottleneck.

Now they state the workload. Agents write production Terraform against a platform template. A human merges.

Hours. Not a project.

@poteto @joshkim I can’t sign into my x account on my Desktop

It’s stuck waiting for my 2fa code

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

Cloud scaled. Adoption scaled. The ticket queue didn't.

We built a Cloud Engineer Agent so app teams stop waiting on us. They describe the workload. Agents write Terraform against the platform standard. A human merges.

Hours, not a project. If AI doesn't change how the company ships infrastructure, it's a demo.

@Reema_vt Thanks Reema!

@RockstarGames @nopixel @Twitch Where can creators go to start building? I cant keep waiting.

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@elonmusk @bot Can we have insights into which bots are consuming the most tokens

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@elonmusk can you allow me to use cursor on mobile where I can go hands free? I want to prompt with my voice and then I want to hear the results of periodic updates or when the task is finished through headset or Bluetooth

This would allow me to work as if I was Tony Stark working with Jarvis

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@Raydium Please be true

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

Going to Disneyland tomorrow. Using @bot to route my day for my daughter AND I’m using it to automatically sign up for my fast passes based on our group preferences.

Told a cast member my plan and they were like idk how I feel about that… told them to download grok and connect their grocery app, give it a budget and some ideas of what they like to eat and POOF it will be at your front door

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@bot @elonmusk @link Can it find me bitcoin yet?

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@Joshua_WD Thanks Josh! When deploying to prod and spinning up cloud resources that cost $$ - you need to have a human review and be the gate for deployments

@AGampel1 Doubt. They’ve been building and improving their own engine with GTA 5, red dead, and now GTA 6

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

GTA6 trailer is looking juicy. I hope everyone is buying the stock $TTWO

Shoutout @netflix on this extended trailer

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@spenserskates @poteto @n2parko @clairevo @bot Oh lord, what happens when I bring my Lenovo thinkpad? Am I getting kicked out? Do I have to forfeit my tokens

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@vinvan Interesting take. I do like this approach because ultimately I’m curious about features, flows and architecture not necessarily the code.

I’ve built a GitHub action into my apps to self document and push these diagrams into the read me or docs through the repo

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@jackfriks That’s why I talk to grok bot on mobile while on my walk

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@sama Any interest in investing in securing land based casino systems as well as online casino systems?

What can you do to secure PCI?

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

How it runs: request → plan → generate → MCP read → PR → plan, lint, policy, cost. Fail: iterate. Pass: a human ships. Lessons go back into the template, so the next app starts stricter.

The business result: cloud scaled, adoption scaled, the ticket queue didn't.

If AI doesn't change how the company ships infrastructure, it isn't transforming anything. It's a demo.

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

What it is: five specialists on one change. Plan, write Terraform, validate, document, review.

What it solves: every team reinventing networking, encryption, IAM, and CI. They fork a platform template, so the secure foundation is already there. Control-team rules ride in the context pack, not in a late review.

MCP reads live AWS and current Terraform schema. Git is the only write. The PR is the product.

[Tanner @theTechTanner]

@poteto Lauren, can you try doing a satire version of robots working in a modern industrial plant? I’m low on tokens :(
