Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about infra.new
General
What is infra.new?
infra.new is an AI-powered infrastructure code generator that uses blueprints to create production-ready Terraform configurations.
Blueprints prevent hallucinations by constraining the AI to proven, tested workflows with validated modules and best practices.
How is this different from ChatGPT/Claude generating Terraform?
General-purpose LLMs often generate code with deprecated APIs, non-existent modules, or security misconfigurations.
infra.new uses blueprints to ensure reliable, secure code. Blueprints are structured workflows with validated modules and best practices built in.
Do I need to know Terraform to use infra.new?
No, but it helps. infra.new generates production-ready code, but you should understand what's being deployed.
The agent provides clear explanations and documentation for all generated resources. For tips on using the agent effectively, reach out to Josh at josh@launchflow.com.
Security & Privacy
Can infra.new modify my cloud infrastructure?
Only if you connect credentials with write access and explicitly run deployment commands.
Cloud credentials are optional. Read-only access enables features like drift detection and importing existing infrastructure. Write access allows the agent to deploy infrastructure directly. See Security & Architecture for details.
Where are my cloud credentials stored?
Credentials are encrypted and stored securely. They're only decrypted when needed and are never logged or exposed.
Do you store my generated infrastructure code?
Generated code is stored until you delete the chat session. This data is not used for training or any other purpose.
Workflow runs are retained for auditing agent actions and troubleshooting.
Is infra.new SOC 2 compliant?
Yes, infra.new maintains SOC 2 Type II certification. Contact founders@launchflow.com for compliance documentation.
Features & Capabilities
What cloud providers are supported?
AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), and Azure. Our context engine supports 200+ resource types across these providers, with new ones added regularly.
Can I use my company's private Terraform modules?
Yes. Connect your Terraform Cloud, Spacelift, or Git-based module registry. The agent will use your modules instead of public ones. See Terraform Modules & Providers.
Does infra.new support Kubernetes?
Yes. The agent generates Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and Terraform configurations for EKS/GKE/AKS clusters.
Can I import my existing infrastructure?
Yes. Connect your cloud account to scan resources and generate Terraform code that represents your current state. See Migrate to Terraform.
What's drift detection?
Drift detection monitors your Terraform state files and alerts you when infrastructure changes outside of Terraform (manual changes in the cloud console). See Drift Detection.
Pricing & Plans
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The free tier includes 1M tokens per month, AWS and GCP resource import, and GitHub/GitLab integration. Perfect for personal projects and evaluation.
What's included in the Pro plan?
Pro includes 10M tokens per month, Azure resource import, state backend monitoring, drift detection, and cost estimation. See Pricing for details.
Do you offer team/enterprise plans?
Yes. Enterprise plans include self-hosted deployment, private module registries, custom blueprints, and dedicated support. Contact founders@launchflow.com or book a demo.
Technical Questions
Which LLM does infra.new use?
infra.new uses state-of-the-art language models optimized for infrastructure code generation. Self-hosted deployments support OpenAI, Anthropic, or custom models.
How do blueprints prevent AI hallucinations?
Blueprints constrain the AI to use only validated Terraform modules and enforce security best practices.
The agent follows proven patterns and can't invent non-existent resources or APIs. See Blueprints.
Can I run Terraform locally or does it have to be in the cloud?
You can do both. Export code to Git and run terraform apply locally, or deploy to Terraform Cloud/Spacelift for remote execution.
What's the difference between infra.new and Terraform Cloud?
Terraform Cloud runs and manages Terraform. infra.new generates Terraform code using AI. They complement each other: use infra.new to create code, then deploy it with Terraform Cloud.
Does infra.new support OpenTofu?
Yes. Generated code is compatible with both Terraform and OpenTofu. OpenTofu-specific features are supported when requested.
Troubleshooting
The agent generated incorrect code. What should I do?
Tell the agent what's wrong in the chat. For example: "The VPC CIDR is incorrect, it should be 10.0.0.0/16".
If issues persist, contact founders@launchflow.com with the chat ID.
My cloud credentials aren't working
Verify the credentials have the required read permissions. See Configure Credentials for the exact IAM policies needed.
Drift detection isn't finding changes
Ensure your state backend is connected and accessible. Drift detection runs hourly, so recent changes may not appear immediately.
How do I report a bug?
Email founders@launchflow.com with the chat ID and a description of the issue.
