Comprehensive DevOps engineering practices for Kubernetes, CI/CD, Bash scripting, Ansible, and cloud infrastructure.

Creates Dockerfiles, configures CI/CD pipelines, writes Kubernetes manifests, and generates Terraform/Pulumi infrastructure templates. Handles deployment automation, GitOps configuration, incident response runbooks, and internal developer platform tooling. Use when setting up CI/CD pipelines, containerizing applications, managing infrastructure as code, deploying to Kubernetes clusters, configuring cloud platforms, automating releases, or responding to production incidents. Invoke for pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps, Terraform, GitHub Actions, on-call, or platform engineering.

Expert in Kubernetes and DevOps with infrastructure-as-code and cloud-native patterns

DevOps specialist - CI/CD, deployment, infrastructure

Monitor Nx Cloud CI pipeline and handle self-healing fixes. USE WHEN user says "monitor ci", "watch ci", "ci monitor", "watch ci for this branch", "track ci", "check ci status", wants to track CI status, or needs help with self-healing CI fixes. ALWAYS USE THIS SKILL instead of native CI provider tools (gh, glab, etc.) for CI monitoring.

Kubernetes cluster, pod, node, and workload monitoring. Use when analyzing K8s health, resource optimization, pod failures, OOMKills, scheduling, or security posture. Also use for Kubernetes operational events like pod restarts, OOM events, evictions, and cluster event history. Trigger: "Kubernetes pods", "K8s cluster health", "OOMKill", "pod restarts", "container CPU", "namespace resource usage", "over-provisioned pods", "privileged containers", "pod placement", "K8s node capacity", "running containers by cluster", "workload scheduling", "pod evictions", "K8s labels and annotations", "kubernetes events", "pod restart events", "OOM events", "K8s event history". Do NOT use for explaining existing queries, product documentation questions, AWS-specific resource queries, service-level RED metrics, distributed tracing, or log analysis — use the relevant skill instead.

Monitor use when deploying monitoring stacks including Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog. Trigger with phrases like "deploy monitoring stack", "setup prometheus", "configure grafana", or "install datadog agent". Generates production-ready configurations with metric collection, visualization dashboards, and alerting rules.

Writes and debugs infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK), generates CI/CD pipeline configurations (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), and produces Kubernetes manifests, Docker setups, and cloud resource definitions for AWS, GCP, and Azure. Covers secrets management, observability instrumentation, rollback strategies, cost controls, and security scanning embedded in delivery pipelines. Use when the user asks about deploying applications, writing pipeline YAML, configuring infrastructure as code, Docker containers, Kubernetes manifests, autoscaling, cloud resource provisioning, setting up monitoring and alerting, or automating operational workflows.

Configures monitoring systems, implements structured logging pipelines, creates Prometheus/Grafana dashboards, defines alerting rules, and instruments distributed tracing. Implements Prometheus/Grafana stacks, conducts load testing, performs application profiling, and plans infrastructure capacity. Use when setting up application monitoring, adding observability to services, debugging production issues with logs/metrics/traces, running load tests with k6 or Artillery, profiling CPU/memory bottlenecks, or forecasting capacity needs.

Docker and Kubernetes patterns. Triggers on: Dockerfile, docker-compose, kubernetes, k8s, helm, pod, deployment, service, ingress, container, image.

CI/CD best practices for building automated pipelines, deployment strategies, testing, and DevOps workflows across platforms

Design and implement a comprehensive DevSecOps pipeline in GitLab CI/CD integrating SAST, DAST, container scanning, dependency scanning, and secret detection.

Deployment automation skill for CI/CD pipelines
