Will AI replace Terraform developers?

While AI can help in the automation of a few tasks, like generating configurations, optimizing code, and detecting errors, it is unlikely to fully replace Terraform developers. Development in Terraform requires deep, cognitively demanding skills involving complex decision-making, customization, and troubleshooting at the level of IaC principles, cloud architecture, and organizational needs. AI tools can make this automation suggestion configuration, automation of repetitive tasks, or noticing potential problems to make the Terraform developer more productive. Still, decision-making in infrastructure management and adaptation of IaC to ever-changing project requirements are left to the expertise and judgment of skilled developers. Most likely, AI will be used just as a useful tool that enhances productivity, not as a replacement for Terraform developers.
