I pointed Claude at my docker compose setup with ~15 different applications and told it to convert it to an opentofu IAC setup.

Did it in one go, WAY better than I ever could have. Creates directories, generates configs from templates, all secrets are encrypted and managed etc.

I've iterated on it a bit more to optimise some bits, mostly for ergonomics, but the basic structure is still there.

Did a similar thing with Ansible. I gave claude a way to access my local computer (Mac) and a server I have (Linux), told it to create an ansible setup that sets up whatever is installed on both machines + configurations.

Again, managed it faster and way better than I every could have.

I even added an Arch Linux VM to the mix just to complicate things, that went faster than I could've done it myself too.
