Introducing LIM: A Large Infrastructure Model for Multi-Cloud Terraform Migration (Sponsored)

March 13, 2026·59 min·4 clips

Harshid Omar says the biggest LLMs still missed infrastructure translation.

Heavy Networking opens with a sponsor-led discussion of cloud portability. The hosts frame the problem as discovering an existing cloud environment and recreating it in another without losing control of it. Shirad Kumar and Harshid Omar explain how FluidCloud handles that problem. The product discovers a customer's current cloud setup and maps it into a new target cloud. AWS to Azure is one path. Azure to GCP is another. The team also says the product can help with migrations off VMware. The episode treats this as more than a one-off demo and presents the platform as something meant for broader migration work. The conversation then moves into how the system works. The co-founders walk through the large infrastructure model FluidCloud launched in March 2026. They describe it as an industry first. The hosts keep asking how the company sees and stores customer data. FluidCloud says users can choose where that data lives. It can go into the customer's S3 buckets. It can also live in FluidCloud's SaaS, or in a private deployment. The team says its SaaS is replicated across five clouds. That setup is meant to help if one cloud has an outage. They also discuss recovery objectives in plain terms, saying the platform can come back in about 15 minutes or less. The episode also gets into permissions. FluidCloud says it can work with read-only access. In that mode, it can still generate Terraform for customers. If customers want more, the platform can make changes to infrastructure too. The hosts press on what happens after discovery. The answer is that teams can build their own CI/CD pipelines separately if they want that control. The tone stays conversational and practical throughout. It sounds like engineers trying to pin down the limits of a new tool. The result is a migration conversation that stays tied to operations instead of drifting into abstraction.

As heard by us

A sponsor episode that stays grounded in the mechanics of moving cloud infrastructure.

Heavy Networking keeps this sponsor episode focused on cloud portability rather than broad promises. The conversation with FluidCloud lays out what the product can find, what it can rebuild, and how it approaches moves from AWS to Azure, Azure to GCP, and even migrations off…
