IaP v1.0.0 launches — an open-source way to define cloud infrastructure in plain language with AI help
as Prompt (IaP) v1.0.0 has been released as open source. Instead of starting directly with provider-specific tools like Terraform or CloudFormation, IaP lets someone describe in what should exist, turning that into a structured, versioned contract. That contract can be written by a person or with AI assistance.
AI helps author and explain the intended , but the actual validation, planning, and execution stay deterministic, meaning the same input always produces the same result. Features include and structured authoring, and clarification workflows, architecture and dependency views, cost/security/compliance analysis, signed deterministic execution plans, and workflows for creating, updating, replacing, detecting drift in, and destroying . It ships with 68 execution handlers covering 47 AWS services, 45 of which have been verified through live test runs.
It's available as a CLI, an MCP server, a , and IDE extensions. IaP does not generate Terraform or CloudFormation code itself; it operates at a higher intent layer and relies on deterministic provider mappings and execution handlers to carry out the actual work.
Key points
- AI assists with describing and authoring intent, while validation, planning, and execution remain deterministic
- Doesn't generate Terraform/CloudFormation directly — works at a higher-level intent contract layer instead
- Ships 68 execution handlers across 47 AWS services, with 45 services verified via live runs
- Available as CLI, MCP server, , and IDE extensions
- Includes cost/security/compliance analysis plus and destroy workflows
