Alessandro Franceschi
As a long time Puppet user, with more Op than Dev competencies, Alessandro has learnt more about programming in few weeks of AI driven development, than ever before.
Willing to mix operations experience with the tool of his dreams, he has finally managed to do it by "himself", with the invaluable support of the machines.
Sessions
Modern times allow extraordinary things, like writing from scratch modern web interfaces to hosts management tools without knowing how to code.
Pabawi is a Web Interface to Puppet, Ansible, Bolt and potentially any infrastructure management tool. It's mostly written by Claude Sonnet, via Kiro, where the human, Alessandro Franceschi, keeps on asking, testing and asking again.
The presentation is both about Pabawi usage and features, and about the AI tools used in the process, with the inevitable lessons learned and things that proved to be useful.
Pabawi is a new Web frontend to manage and inventory your infrastructure systems: it currently supports Bolt and Puppet, with planned integrations with Ansible and other tools that interface with good old "legacy" physical or virtual systems (there's always an OS somewhere to deal with, after all).
The Ignite is a quick overview of Pabawi features.
