Building a Guarded Control Plane for Tomcat Automation

I built and maintain an open-source project called InfraPilot , and I’m looking for technical feedback from DevOps, SRE, Ansible, and platform engineering practitioners.

InfraPilot is a natural-language control plane for Tomcat operations. The goal is to let an operator use plain-English commands for Tomcat deployment, scaling, verification, and recovery, while keeping execution bounded through validation and deterministic Ansible-backed workflows.

The project is not trying to make infrastructure execution free-form. Natural language is only the interface. The execution path is guarded, validated, and backed by predefined automation.

Example commands

Deploy a scalable Java app with 5 instances Scale Tomcats to 4 Reduce JVMs to 1

Why I built it

Middleware operations often involve scripts, playbooks, manual checks, and environment-specific commands.…
