We are wildly unprepared to think about and manage water as the precious and limited resource it truly is.
Because electricity is more costly for data centers than water, companies often prioritize building their facilities in places with cheap power, even if the area is drought stricken. “Water is an afterthought”...The thinking is, ‘Someone will figure that out later.’”

Much like Infrastucture as Code - where we defined a YAML source of truth and intent file that we drove configuration with using jinja2 templates

Infra as Agents an agent per-device we control in a hierarchy with a main agent making the decisions on which sub agents to invoke

Infrastructure as Agents!

So I have a main agent that can call subagents, one per-device, and I can manage this whole topology of 4 devices all from natural language

This is pretty cool

Getting geared up for a busy and hopefully highly productive 2025. Starting with separating my personal views, opinions and interests from my professional musings and personal enthusiasm for all things networking & tech.

Ready to #ThriveIn2025! Let's Go!!
