Adding AI to Your IaC Workflow Without Starting Over
summary
Spacelift Intent is an open-source MCP server that provisions cloud resources by calling OpenTofu/Terraform provider APIs directly — no HCL, plan, or apply — and records state in a local SQLite DB. Demo provisions an S3 bucket with versioning in ~30 seconds and a VPC+EC2 stack under three minutes, shows drift detection and revert or adopt reconciliation, and tears down resources in dependency order. Claim: use Intent for fast prototyping workflows while keeping GitOps/Terraform for production; PR review latency (two days) is the real cost.
