Command line interfaces have demostrated their effectiveness to do task, and now with AI and LLMs all over the radar, is easier to integrate these llms into our own CLIs. Enter Isaac, a groundbreaking CLI tool that seamlessly integrates with AWS Bedrock, an AWS service offering a suite of Large Language Models (LLM) capable of generating both text and images. Developed in Go, Isaac emerges as a versatile companion, ready to assist users in navigating Linux environments, executing commands suggested by the LLM, providing fundamental guidance on Kubernetes, and even generating captivating images based on prompts.

In this post I cover how I create a cluster to compile the linux kernel. Recently I needed to compile the linux kernel for my personal PC and it was really slow with only 2 cores, 4 threads. it ocurred to me, I didn’t need a new computer, perhaps I could compile the kernel in aws using ec2 instances. However if I had only one EC2 instance it will be the same case, unless I chose a really big instance type, but I could create a cluster of cheaper machines and have them running to compile the linux kernel, then I could copy the generated files over ssh to my current laptop and destroy all the infrastructure.
