Managing Legacy Infrastructure Through Natural Language: IIS and Agentic AI

Most of our projects have adopted containerization and cloud technologies. But in  reality, many legacy systems still run on bare-metal infrastructure. Sometimes because of strict security requirements, specific dependencies, or simply the cost and risk of migration.
