```bash
curl -X POST http://your-server/webhook \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "message": "generate 3 kubernetes servers with monitoring",
    "user_id": "user123",
    "channel": "infrastructure"
  }'
```plaintext

}

let response = (process_discord_webhook $discord_payload)
```plaintext

## Examples

### 🏗️ **Infrastructure Generation Examples**

#### 1. Kubernetes Cluster Setup

```bash
./provisioning generate-ai servers "
High-availability Kubernetes cluster with:
- 3 control plane nodes (4 CPU, 8GB RAM each)
- 5 worker nodes (8 CPU, 16GB RAM each) 
- Dedicated storage nodes with Ceph
- Private networking with load balancer
- Monitoring and logging stack
" --provider upcloud --output k8s_cluster_servers.ncl --validate
```plaintext

#### 2. AWS Production Environment

```bash
./provisioning generate-ai defaults "
AWS production environment configuration:
- Region: us-west-2 (primary), us-east-1 (backup)
- High availability across 3 AZs
- Enhanced security with VPC, private subnets
- Auto-scaling groups for applications
- RDS Multi-AZ for databases
- ElastiCache for caching
- CloudFront CDN
- Route53 DNS management
" --provider aws --output aws_prod_defaults.ncl
```plaintext

#### 3. Development Environment

```bash
./provisioning generate-ai infra "
Development environment for a microservices application:
- 1 jump/bastion server
- 3 application servers (containerized workloads)
- 1 database server (PostgreSQL)
- 1 cache server (Redis)
- Shared NFS storage
- Development tools (Git, CI/CD agents)
- Monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana)
" --provider local --interactive
```plaintext

### 💬 **Chat Examples**

**User:** *"I need to set up a scalable web application infrastructure"*

**AI:** *"I can help you design a scalable web infrastructure! Let me generate a configuration that includes:*

*- Load balancers for high availability*
*- Auto-scaling application servers*
*- Database with read replicas*
*- Caching layer*
*- CDN for static assets*

*Would you like me to create this for a specific provider like AWS, UpCloud, or local deployment?"*

**User:** *"Generate it for UpCloud with monitoring included"*

**AI:** *"Perfect! I'll generate an UpCloud configuration with monitoring. Here's your infrastructure setup:*

```nickel
import upcloud_prov
servers = [
   // Load balancer
   upcloud_prov.Server_upcloud {
      hostname = "lb-01"
      plan = "2xCPU-4GB"
      // ... configuration
   }
   // Application servers with auto-scaling
   // Database servers with replication  
   // Monitoring stack with Prometheus/Grafana
]
```plaintext

*This configuration includes 7 servers optimized for high availability and performance.
Would you like me to explain any specific part or generate additional configurations?"*

### 🚀 **Advanced Features**

#### Interactive Configuration Builder

```bash
./provisioning ai generate --interactive
```plaintext

This launches an interactive session that asks specific questions to build optimal configurations:

1. **Infrastructure Purpose** - Web app, data processing, ML training, etc.
2. **Scale Requirements** - Number of users, traffic patterns, growth projections
3. **Provider Preference** - Cloud provider selection and regions
4. **Service Requirements** - Databases, caching, storage, monitoring
5. **Security Needs** - Compliance requirements, network isolation
6. **Budget Constraints** - Cost optimization preferences

#### Configuration Optimization

```bash
# Analyze and improve existing configurations
./provisioning ai improve existing_config.ncl --output optimized_config.ncl

# Get AI suggestions for performance improvements
./provisioning ai query --prompt "How can I optimize this configuration for better performance?" --context file:servers.ncl
```plaintext

## Integration with Existing Workflows

### 🔄 **Workflow Integration**

1. **Generate** configurations with AI
2. **Validate** using Nickel compiler
3. **Review** and customize as needed  
4. **Apply** using provisioning commands
5. **Monitor** and iterate

```bash
# Complete workflow example
./provisioning generate-ai servers "Production Kubernetes cluster" --validate --output servers.ncl
./provisioning server create --check  # Review before creation
./provisioning server create          # Actually create infrastructure
```plaintext

### 🛡️ **Security & Best Practices**

- **API Keys**: Store in environment variables, never in code
- **Validation**: Always validate AI-generated configurations
- **Review**: Human review recommended for production deployments
- **Version Control**: Track all generated configurations
- **Testing**: Use `--check` mode for dry runs

### 🧪 **Testing & Development**

```bash
# Test AI functionality
./provisioning ai test

# Test webhook processing
./provisioning ai webhook test

# Debug mode for troubleshooting
./provisioning generate-ai servers "test setup" --debug
```plaintext
