CTO here.

We built this because we’re seeing a shift from "chatting with agents" to event-driven flows (agents reacting to webhooks, PRs, or tickets in the background).

The problem we hit was responsibility. An agent can technically execute a stripe.refund tool call, but it cannot weigh the consequences of a $50 refund vs. a $5,000 refund. It lacks the context of risk.

We built the proxy to bridge that gap. It lets the agent run autonomously 99% of the time, but forces a "hardware interrupt" (human check) when the stakes get high. We handle the state management of pausing that headless workflow so you don't have to build custom polling logic into every bot.

Should someone in another country be able to publish your personal secrets? Sure if its North Korea you can't do much but a organization in a friendly country should not be allowed to do so esp if they're important nationally classified material.

One of the issues I've often seen that my team mates send "right command" to wrong cluster and context. We have a bunch of clusters and it's always surprising to see some laptop deployments on ... production cluster.

So I wrote this https://github.com/icy/gk8s#seriously-why-dont-just-use-kube... It doesn't come with any autocompletion by default, but it's a robust way to deal with multiple clusters. Hope this helps.

Edit: Fix typo err0rs

Multi-Cloud can be hard to do right and there are plenty of traps along the way. It sure doesn't make sense to go that way just for Disaster Recovery, unless you need to be prepared for the unlikely event that Amazon or Google will suddenly get wiped out of the planet.

That said, going Multi-Cloud is indeed unavoidable in a growing number of settings. So, instead of looking at it as a source of troubles, it can be leveraged as a way to extract the best features out of each provider, to avoid lock-in wherever it makes business sense and to minimize costs by distributing workloads accordingly. That introduces new issues regarding access control, cost analysis, auditing and governance which are best managed by a Multi-Cloud Management Platform.

If you're looking for such a tool check out https://mist.io

It's an open source CMP that supports most popular public & private clouds, as well as Hypervisors and container hosts. It takes care of provisioning, monitoring, RBAC, cost analysis and automation/orchestration. It can also be used to deploy Kubernetes clusters on any supported cloud.

I have yet to see a good tutorial that shows an automated build of a kubernetes cluster. Yeah, you can use GKE, but that gets to be prohibitively expensive.

Mist.io provides a Cloudify blueprint that can be used to deploy and scale Kubernetes clusters on any supported cloud. It's using kubeadm under the hood.

What's the difference between mist.io and Apache's libcloud?
dim0r · 8 years ago
Apache libcloud is a Python library that's used primarily to create, reboot & destroy machines in any supported cloud.

Mist.io is a cloud management platform that uses Apache libcloud under the hood. It provides a REST API & a Web UI that can be used for creating, rebooting & destroying machines, but also for tagging, monitoring, alerting, running scripts, orchestrating complex deployments, visualizing spending, configuring access policies, auditing & more.

What are popular multi cloud solutions if you use AWS or GCP services that have proprietary APIs? Are there frameworks that paper over the API differences?
dim0r · 8 years ago
mist.io supports most public and private cloud platforms. Also, it's open source https://github.com/mistio/mist-ce

Fwiw, Ansible makes the multicloud thing pretty straightforward as long as you aren’t married to services that only work for a specific cloud provider.

For that, you should consider setting up multiple accounts to isolate those services from the portable ones.

dim0r · 8 years ago
Also check out Mist.io. It's an open source multi-cloud management platform that abstracts the infrastructure layer to help you avoid the lock-in.
