Insights from Building an Open-Source AI Agent for Infrastructure Automation. This AI agent can automate cloud infrastructure tasks like provisioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting (not right now for this open-source)—jobs often listed in entry-level cloud engineer JDs.

Are junior roles at risk, or is this a chance to evolve? Let’s explore the present and take a sci-fi-inspired peek into the future.
