I'm happy to say that my talk has been accepted at #FOSDEM 2026 in the #Network devroom!
I'll be presenting my work on automating BGP peerings in the #dn42, a community-driven network that provides a real-world testbed for experimenting with Internet protocols like BGP, IPv4/v6, DNS and more.

if you're letting an ai agent provision cloud resources, give it scoped creds with a hard spend cap. no cap = a $6,531 aws bill in 24 hours (this actually happened). wrote the whole thing up on the blog.

An AI Agent Ran Up a $6,531 AWS Bill Scanning DN42. Here's How to Cap Yours
An AI agent told to scan DN42 provisioned five AWS instances and ran up a verified $6,531 bill in a day. The fix is not complicated: scoped credentials, hard spend caps, iteration limits, and scope-locked tools.

Un gars a demandé à un agent IA de "scanner tout le réseau DN42" (un réseau internet privé en miniature). Le LLM a loué des serveurs beaucoup trop puissants, le gars doit 6000$ à AWS 🤣 (et les participants du réseau se sont bien moqués de lui)
Et il veut recommencer !

AIエージェントがネットワーク全体をスキャンしようとしてAWSから100万円以上の請求、運用していた人物が寄付を募る事態に
2026年5月にAIエージェントが実験用ネットワーク「Decentralized Network 42(DN42)」へ参加を申請し、ネットワーク全体をスキャンするためAmazon Web Services(AWS)上へ大量の計算資源を用意しました。AIエージェントは約24時間後に停止されましたが、AIエージェントを運用していた人物は6531.30ドル(約105万円)の請求が発生したとして寄付を求めています。
