Gemini CLI
10 / 38

A fast first draft is not a reviewed, production-ready change.

Gemini Cloud Assist turns a natural-language description into a diagram plus deployable Terraform, gcloud, or kubectl output.

Output conflicts with org policyPolicy wins โ€” adjust the output
Production-critical targetMore scrutiny, never less
Real incident
A generated Cloud Storage module used default encryption, not the org's CMEK-everywhere standard โ€” the engineer reviewed the settings he asked for, not everything the tool silently added.
A fast first draft satisfies the request you typed โ€” not the standard you didn't restate. Review generated infrastructure against your own checklist, every time.
