🎯 Quick Start
# AI-powered infrastructure provisioning with Pulumi
import pulumi
from pulumi_ai import InfrastructureAgent
# Initialize AI agent with policies
agent = InfrastructureAgent(
policies=["cost-optimization", "security-hardening"],
budget_limit=5000,
compliance=["SOC2", "HIPAA"]
)
# Natural language infrastructure request
infrastructure = agent.provision("""
Create a highly available web application infrastructure with:
- Auto-scaling based on predictive analytics
- Self-healing capabilities
- Cost optimized for 1000 concurrent users
- HIPAA compliant data storage
""")
# AI generates optimized infrastructure code
