What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes guesswork and manual steps when deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting containerized applications on Kubernetes by providing validated manifests, deployment strategies, and operational guardrails.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Manifest generation & validation: dry-run server-side apply, kubeval and helm lint checks to prevent invalid deployments.
- Deployment strategies: guidance and templates for rolling, canary, and blue-green rollouts with automated gate thresholds and rollback rules.
- Resource sizing & health: recommendations for requests, limits, probes, PDBs, and autoscaling (HPA/VPA) to avoid OOMs and flapping.
- Troubleshooting workflows: diagnostics for CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff, pending scheduling, and ingress/502 issues.
- Use Case: Safely promote a Helm-charted microservice from staging to production with canary ramps, health gates, and automatic rollback on threshold breaches.
Quick Start
Deploy the current Helm chart to the staging namespace with a server-side dry-run, then run health checks and confirm all pods report ready.
