Add What Is AI Infrastructure? pillar page (#20881)
* Add What Is AI Infrastructure? pillar page New /what-is/ pillar closing the top GEO gap on the AI Infrastructure topic: a vendor-neutral category definition covering the accelerator, data, orchestration, and serving layers competitors already cover, plus the control-plane layer (infrastructure as code, agent-readiness, governance) that they omit. - Registers the page in data/what_is_sections.yml under Core concepts. - Adds a cross-link from the existing ai-infrastructure-tools blog post to the new pillar to avoid two competing on-site definitions. - Byline: Alex Leventer. - Sourced from arXiv 2506.12270, platformengineering.org's 2026 predictions, the 2025 DORA report, the CNCF 2025 Annual Cloud Native Survey, and a published Joe Duffy quote/stat from the-agentic- infrastructure-era blog post; all verified verbatim before use. * Address pre-merge review findings on AI infrastructure pillar page - Fix contradiction: HCL is a configuration language, not a general-purpose programming language; remove it from the 'real programming language' list - Fix subject-verb agreement: 'patterns that show up' (was 'shows up') - Style-guide substitution: use 'Pulumi Policies' instead of 'CrossGuard' - Correct FAQ 30x-steps comparison to cite its actual baseline (CLI, not IaC) per the source paper's own table - Ground the Kubernetes-for-AI-workloads claim in the CNCF figures already cited on the page instead of a blog link that doesn't make that comparison - De-duplicate near-verbatim CNCF stat restatement between body and FAQ - Fix blog cross-link framing drift: control plane governs the AI stack's own layers, not both of the post's tool categories - Minor style-linter polish (wordiness, weasel word) Verified against primary sources during review: the arXiv paper's own step-count table (2506.12270), the CNCF/PR Newswire release, Google Cloud's 2025 DORA report, and Luca Galante's platform-engineering predictions post all corroborate the page's other quoted figures verbatim. * Fix possessive redundancy: 'Pulumi's Pulumi Policies' -> 'Pulumi Policies, Pulumi's implementation' --------- Co-authored-by: workprentice <257153108+workprentice@users.noreply.github.com>

**AI-powered infrastructure management** is the inverse: AI tools that manage cloud infrastructure. They generate [infrastructure as code](/what-is/what-is-infrastructure-as-code/), run deployments, detect drift, and remediate policy violations. The pitch is that modern infrastructure (multi-cloud, containers, microservices, regulated workloads) has gotten too complex for humans to manage by hand and too varied for scripted automation to keep up with.

Most organizations end up needing both: somewhere to run their ML workloads, and something to keep the rest of the cloud sane.
