I gave an AI agent the same deployment on four clouds.

Full disclosure up front: I run one of the four platforms in this test (redu.cloud), so take my framing with that in mind. I recorded every run raw and published every session transcript, so you can check the work instead of trusting me on it.

I wanted an honest answer to a question I actually care about: how well can an AI agent operate real cloud infrastructure today? Not a to-do app on a serverless host, real stateful infrastructure. So I gave the same job to the same agent on four clouds and watched what each one let it do.

The task

One real, stateful, privacy-first deployment. The same outcomes on every platform:
