What problem does it solve? Setting up deployment infrastructure requires deep knowledge across Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and multiple CI/CD platforms, and mistakes in these configurations cause outages, security gaps, and failed releases. This Skill provides senior-level DevOps guidance with production-tested templates and safety guardrails for the entire build-deploy-operate lifecycle. ## Core Features & Use Cases - CI/CD Pipeline Configuration: Generates GitHub Actions and GitLab CI pipelines with testing, image building, security scanning, and staged deployments. - Container & Orchestration Templates: Writes multi-stage Dockerfiles, Kubernetes deployments with health probes, HPA autoscaling, and GitOps configurations for ArgoCD. - Infrastructure as Code: Produces Terraform configurations for AWS ECS, RDS, and networking with state management and secrets handling best practices. - Incident Response & Release Safety: Provides runbooks, rollback procedures, postmortem templates, and canary/blue-green deployment strategies with explicit production approval gates. - Use Case: You need to containerize a Python API and deploy it to Kubernetes with a GitHub Actions pipeline. The Skill generates a multi-stage Dockerfile, a CI workflow with Trivy scanning, K8s manifests with resource limits and probes, and a documented rollback procedure. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline and Dockerfile for your application, including staging deployment and a rollback plan.
