Short answer

How can I use my AI to manage Aiven services?

You can launch new database instances and configure private networking directly from your chat window. Your AI handles the API calls to Aiven to build out your environment and secure it. You'll see the results of these infrastructure changes immediately.

Infrastructure outcomes

What you can build

These are the specific results your AI delivers.

DEPLOY

New database instances

The AI spins up fresh services based on your requirements. You get a running database without opening a web console.

SECURE

Isolated networks

Your AI sets up VPCs to keep your data traffic off the public internet. This keeps your services within a private boundary.

MODIFY

Service updates

Change your existing service configurations on the fly. Your AI applies these changes to your active cloud resources.

MANUAL

Human oversight

You retain final control over the environment. The AI proposes the configuration, but you decide when to commit changes.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your intent into specific API actions.

  1. Provisioning

    When you ask for a new database, the AI triggers the creation process for that specific service type.

    create_service

  2. Network Isolation

    To secure your environment, the AI builds out a private virtual cloud for your project.

    create_project_vpc

  3. Configuration Changes

    If you need to adjust a running service, the AI sends the update command to Aiven.

    update_service

  4. Validation

    The AI checks the results of the requested actions to ensure the service or network is ready.

    update_service
