About this book
AI can write Terraform, pipelines and runbooks in seconds. It cannot be held accountable when they break production. This book gives you a repeatable way to use AI as a helper while you stay the engineer: the Eight Gates, from the first generated draft to a rollback you have already rehearsed.
What is inside
- The Eight Gates: Generate, Review, Validate, Test, Approve, Deploy, Observe, Roll back
- Built around everyday AWS delivery work: infrastructure as code, pipelines and releases
- AI as a helper in the workflow, with a human still owning every production change
- A companion labs repository so you can practise each gate (link added at launch)
