The experiment covers creating a GCS bucket, provisioning a GKE cluster, deploying an nginx app with a load balancer, and building reusable Pulumi component resources. Results are mixed: simple tasks succeed with minor fixes, but complex or modular configurations require significant manual corrections. The conclusion is that AI-generated IaC is still far from reliable enough to replace hands-on DevOps expertise, and prompt engineering is less efficient than reading documentation directly.
