Clanker

Abstract

1. Introduction

Agent swarm powering Clanker Cloud, the first AI DevOps IDE for agents and humans.

Ask questions about your infra (and optionally GitHub/etc). Clanker can inspect existing environments and also generate or apply infrastructure and deploy plans through its maker and deploy flows.

2. Objective

autonomous systems engineering cli agent for any cloud environment: AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, etc

This project demonstrates how Go, AWS, Terraform can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
