Using ChatGPT for DevOps

This article discusses the author's experience using ChatGPT-3 and OpenAI's Platform Playground in their work as a DevOps engineer.

The author was initially skeptical about ChatGPT's abilities, but after testing it by asking it to generate small Python and Bash scripts, they were impressed with the quality and syntax of the code it produced.

They then used OpenAI's Platform Playground to generate Terraform code for deploying Apache Airflow, which saved them days of work.

The author also asked ChatGPT technical infrastructure design questions and used it to troubleshoot errors. While they do not believe ChatGPT can replace DevOps engineers or SREs, they believe it can increase productivity and unblock engineers.
