Abstract

A system receives a natural language request for configuring a computing infrastructure using a cloud platform. The system executes a machine learning based language model to generate infrastructure-as-code (IaC) to configure a cloud platform to obtain the desired computing infrastructure. The system may display the IaC generated by the machine learning based language model via a user interface as an example for use by the user. The system may send instructions to the cloud platform to provision computing infrastructure in accordance with the IaC obtained from the machine learning based language model. The system may repeatedly determine whether the desired computing infrastructure is deployed on the cloud platform and if the computing infrastructure currently provisioned on the cloud platform fails to match the desired computing infrastructure according to the natural language request, the system reconfigures the computing infrastructure deployed on the cloud platform.
