Microsoft revealed a new AI tool called Infra Copilot, which uses its existing GitHub Copilot to create infrastructure code.
Infra Copilot is designed to understand the context of infrastructure tasks and generate appropriate code suggestions based on natural language prompts.
The tool can streamline the coding process, enabling professionals to focus on higher-level tasks.
It also provides standardized code snippets for consistency across different environments.
Infra Copilot is available now to programmers with a recent Visual Studio Code version and a GitHub Copilot license.
Microsoft has also launched GitHub Copilot Enterprise, using data from a company's own code repositories to generate code and answer questions, priced at $39 per month per user.
