AI for DevOps: Claude Code on Your Infrastructure, Safely

AI agents are great at the parts of ops that eat your day: reading logs, explaining a failing pipeline, drafting Terraform, reviewing a plan for the one line that replaces your database. They're dangerous at the parts that can't be undone. This course draws that line in configuration: read-only identities, deny and ask rules for destructive verbs, plan review as structured output, a triage skill for incidents and CI agents with minimal tokens. Written by a DevOps and cloud architect who works with AWS, Azure and Kubernetes.

Objectifs pédagogiques

  • Configure Claude Code for an infrastructure repository with read-only access and blocked destructive verbs
  • Build a Terraform plan-review step with structured JSON output
  • Write an incident-triage skill for Kubernetes
  • Set up a CI agent job with minimal permissions and a budget

Public visé

DevOps, SRE, platform and cloud engineers working with Terraform, Kubernetes and CI/CD. The hands-on steps use AWS and GitHub Actions; Azure, GCP and GitLab users adapt the cloud-identity and CI steps.

Prérequis

Working knowledge of Terraform and kubectl, and a GitHub account (the CI exercise uses GitHub Actions). For the hands-on parts: a disposable Kubernetes cluster (kind or minikube is enough), a sandbox AWS account (exercise 2 also works with the kit's sample plan only), Claude Code 2.1.295+, jq; macOS, Linux or Windows with WSL2 (on Linux and WSL2, bubblewrap and socat for the sandbox). An Anthropic API key (Console, pay-as-you-go) is required for the CI exercise and the final project's CI job, and optional for exercise 2; each review run is capped at $1 by --max-budget-usd. AWS CLI v2 for the cloud steps.
