The premise
Config drift causes outages nobody can reproduce; LLMs read N configs and surface meaningful diffs.
What AI does well here
- Diff JSON/YAML configs across environments and call out semantic changes
- Group differences by likely root cause (intentional vs accidental)
What AI cannot do
- Decide which environment is the source of truth
- Approve a reconciliation that touches production
