SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill migrates middleware from Ansible, bare-metal, VM, or shell-scripted deployments to hardened OCI rootless products, ensuring secure, operable, and maintainable solutions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rootless OCI Migration: Converts legacy middleware into secure, rootless OCI products, leveraging Podman, Docker rootless, or nerdctl.
  • Stratigraphic Analysis: Extracts and refines operational contracts, classifying artifacts and mapping fault lines for successful migration.
  • Alloy Design: Constructs a target OCI product with runtime, init logic, tools, and check images, ensuring security, reproducibility, and observability.
  • Proof Gates: Provides a matrix of T0-T4/M0 gates to ensure contract consistency, component buildability, deployment, operations, and stress testing.
  • Integration & Handoffs: Offers integration with other cli-* skills and handoffs for specialized sub-problems, ensuring comprehensive migration coverage.
  • Use Case: Transform a legacy Ansible-based service into an OCI rootless product, with improved security, maintainability, and operations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate legacy middleware to rootless OCI containers?

Rootless OCI migration converts legacy Ansible or bare-metal middleware deployments into secure containers using Podman or nerdctl. This process leverages systemd --user for declarative unit management, ensuring reproducible and hardened container operations.

What is stratigraphic analysis in containerization migration?

Stratigraphic analysis extracts and refines operational contracts from legacy middleware, classifying artifacts and mapping fault lines to ensure successful migration to rootless OCI containers for complex stateful service transformations.

How do I manage rootless container services with systemd --user?

Managing rootless container services with systemd --user requires declarative unit management to handle init logic and operations. This approach ensures secure, maintainable deployments by running containers without root privileges while preserving system operability.

Do I need Ansible knowledge to convert bare-metal middleware to OCI products?

Ansible knowledge is required to convert bare-metal middleware to OCI products because the migration analyzes existing Ansible deployments. You also need familiarity with systemd and rootless container operations to handle complex stateful service transformations successfully.

How do you validate deployment and operations after migrating stateful services?

Validating deployment after migrating stateful services uses a matrix of T0-T4 and M0 proof gates. These gates ensure contract consistency, component buildability, deployment operations, and stress testing for the hardened rootless OCI product.

What are the limitations of migrating complex stateful middleware to rootless containers?

Limitations of migrating complex stateful middleware to rootless containers include handling intricate stateful service transformations and requiring specialized local cli-* skills for sub-problems. Cross-skill handoffs are necessary for comprehensive migration coverage.
