I didn’t plan to build this.
Honestly, it started as an experiment. Something small.
I was just playing around with chatbot frameworks, not expecting anything serious to come out of it.
But… something clicked. ⚡
Now I'm working on a system where a chatbot can provision Azure resources on demand — and it's honestly blowing my mind how powerful and natural this can become.
🤖 The Idea: Talking to the Cloud
Imagine messaging a bot and saying:
“Hey, I need an Ubuntu VM in West Europe. Small size.”
And it replies:
✅ You're about to create a VM with these specs... Do you confirm?
If you say “Yes,” it triggers a full DevOps pipeline, builds the infrastructure via Pulumi, and comes back with provisioning information.
We're not just scripting anymore.
We're interacting with infrastructure.
🔧 The Stack (So Far)
Here’s what powers this project:
🧠 Bot Framework + Python — handles the backend logic
🤖 OpenAI GPT — parses natural language into structured intents
📦 Pulumi — my tool of choice for Infrastructure-as-Code
🔁 Azure DevOps Pipelines — automate deployments via bot
🗂 JSON-based infra knowledge base — soon evolving into FAISS + RAG
🌐 (Optional) React-based Admin UI — for managing infrastructure state
And yes, it’s fully modular — adding support for new resource types or prompts is super straightforward.
💡 Why I Think This Matters
This isn't just about automation.
It’s about changing the interaction model in cloud infrastructure.
We're so used to clicking dashboards or writing code…
But what if you could just say:
“Spin up a staging environment like last week's one, but in West US.”
That’s the kind of experience we can aim for.
And even if it started as a curiosity, this project opened up new ways of thinking for me ; about DevOps, user experience, and cloud accessibility.
🧪 What I’m Working On Next
✅ Parsing OpenAI GPT results into real infra actions
✅ Running DevOps pipelines with parameter injection
✅ Returning real-time output
🔜 Integrating FAISS to understand current cloud layout
🔜 Building a knowledge base: SKUs, pricing, compliance, etc
Yes, it’s a lot. But it’s fun.
🌍 Final Thoughts
I didn't expect this to work as well as it does.
This project made me realize that AI + DevOps + conversational UX is not just a cool demo — it's a serious enabler for productivity and cloud automation.
And the best part? I’m just getting started. 😄
