Overview

This skill automates creation of Kubernetes Deployment resources and associated artifacts for production-ready application deployments. It guides DevOps engineers through configuration, generates YAML manifests, and produces reusable templates for Helm or Kustomize. The skill targets advanced deployment patterns, validation, and integration with CI/CD pipelines.

How this skill works

The skill inspects requested deployment parameters (image, replicas, resource limits, probes, labels, environment variables, volumes) and produces compliant Kubernetes Deployment manifests and optional Service, ConfigMap, Secret, and RBAC artifacts. It applies industry best practices such as readiness/liveness probes, resource requests/limits, rolling update strategies, and validation checks. Outputs include YAML files, Helm chart snippets, and recommended CI/CD steps for deploying and rolling back safely.

When to use it

  • Creating new Kubernetes Deployments for microservices or monoliths
  • Converting deployment requirements into production-ready YAML or Helm charts
  • Integrating deployments into CI/CD workflows with proper rollouts and rollbacks
  • Implementing best-practice probes, resource limits, and pod disruption budgets
  • Validating deployment manifests against common schema and security checks

Best practices

  • Always set resource requests and limits to avoid noisy-neighbor issues
  • Define readiness and liveness probes to ensure healthy traffic routing
  • Use rollingUpdate strategy with maxSurge/maxUnavailable for zero-downtime
  • Store secrets in Secrets and reference via environment variables or volumes
  • Add labels and annotations for observability, network policy and pod disruption budgets

Example use cases

  • Generate a Deployment and Service for a Docker image with 3 replicas, autoscaling hints, and health probes
  • Produce a Helm chart scaffold including values.yaml and templates for CI/CD consumption
  • Convert a development manifest into production-ready YAML adding securityContext and resource constraints
  • Validate existing manifests and list missing best-practice items with remediation steps
  • Create deployment snippets integrating ConfigMaps, Secrets, and initContainers for migrations

FAQ

What information do I need to provide?

Provide image name and tag, desired replicas, resource expectations, environment variables, and any volume mounts or secrets to reference.

Can this generate Helm charts or Kustomize overlays?

Yes. The skill can output Helm chart templates or Kustomize overlays alongside plain YAML manifests for direct application.
