Analyzing Cloud Resources with GPT

Once everything is set up, you can configure your OPENAI_API_KEY to begin analyzing your cloud resources. To do this, use the command below:

Understanding the Code: A Twisty Maze of SQL and YAML

Imagine you’re in a huge maze where every turn is a decision point. In a similar vein, the way we write custom analysis policies for Selefra through a mix of SQL and YAML allows us to navigate through the vast possibilities of multi-cloud configurations. Just think of SQL as a treasure map leading to valuable insights and YAML as your trusty compass that keeps you oriented in this sprawling landscape. By cleverly combining the two, you can track anything from security compliance to architectural considerations.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any hiccups along the way while using Selefra, here’s how to address them:

• Installation Issues: Double-check your internet connection and ensure you’ve downloaded the correct version for your operating system.
• Configuration Errors: Make sure that your credentials for various providers (AWS, GCP, etc.) are correctly set up in your configuration files.
• API Key Problems: Verify that your OPENAI_API_KEY is valid and correctly inserted in your command line.
