Have you ever stared at a Terraform module and wondered: why am I writing this? If an AI agent can provision infrastructure directly, what's the point of hand-crafting HCL files?

It's a question the whole IaC industry is wrestling with. Pulumi shipped a fully agentic infrastructure agent. Spacelift provisions from natural language with no config files at all. We'll add a third pattern to the mix: the Dark Factory. A swarm of agents writes the HCL, independent agents review it, and deterministic checks enforce policy. Without a single person in the loop, a pipeline applies it.
In this session we'll explore what's actually happening in the Infrastructure as Code space: how AI agents are changing the way we provision cloud resources, and whether traditional tools like Terraform and Bicep still have a place in this new world. Because beyond declaring infrastructure, IaC also carries the safety mechanisms we've built up over the years: state, governance, idempotency, preview, and rollback. These matter more, not less, when an agent is making the changes. We'll look at how the leading vendors are answering this, and what it means for your infrastructure practice.

You'll walk away understanding why DSLs are becoming the assembly language of infrastructure: still essential, rarely hand-written, and more important to understand than ever.
