AI Agents for Infrastructure Automation

Learn how to build a Slack‑driven AI agent that provisions EC2 via LangGraph, integrates human approvals, and automates Terraform and GitLab workflows.

Overview

This is a technical deep-dive into building an AI agent that automates SRE workflows directly from Slack. I’ll walk through the Python code for an end-to-end EC2 provisioning agent, covering:
1) Using LangGraph for stateful, interruptible workflows.
2) Implementing a human-in-the-loop approval system for safety.
3) Integrating real-world tools like the AWS (boto3) and GitLab APIs.

The FastAPI backend that ties it all together.

The live demo will show the agent handling a natural language request, generating Terraform code, and creating a GitLab merge request.
