Using AI-powered solutions to generate and explain IaC template code

In the previous chapters of this book, we manually prepared the Terraform template code for setting up various penetration testing lab environments on AWS, Azure, and GCP. If you’ve actually worked on the hands-on examples and solutions in the previous chapters, you are probably aware that it takes a significant amount of time to code and prepare these IaC templates from scratch! To accelerate the preparation of IaC template code, we can use AI-powered solutions to generate code automatically using the right set of prompts. In addition to this, we can use these tools to explain existing code as well.

In this section, we will take a closer look at how AI-powered solutions such as ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot Labs can be used to generate and explain IaC template code. You’ll see how we can use these tools to significantly speed up the process of reading and writing code.
