devops-deployment is a Claude skill providing CI/CD pipeline, containerization, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code patterns for deploying applications.

About

This skill provides frameworks for CI/CD pipelines, containerization, deployment strategies, and infrastructure automation. It covers pipeline stages, container best practices, Kubernetes manifests, deployment strategies, Terraform, and GitOps with ArgoCD, plus a deployment checklist. A developer uses it when setting up pipelines, containerizing apps, or deploying to Kubernetes and cloud platforms.

  • Frameworks for CI/CD pipelines, containerization, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code
  • Compares rolling, blue-green, and canary deployment strategies with risk levels
  • Ships templates for GitHub Actions, Dockerfile, Helm, Terraform, and ArgoCD

DevOps & Deployment Skill

Comprehensive frameworks for CI/CD pipelines, containerization, deployment strategies, and infrastructure automation.

When to Use

  • Setting up CI/CD pipelines
  • Containerizing applications
  • Deploying to Kubernetes or cloud platforms
  • Implementing GitOps workflows
  • Managing infrastructure as code
  • Planning release strategies

Key Concepts

CI/CD Pipeline Stages

1. Lint & Type Check - Code quality gates 2. Unit Tests - Test coverage with reporting 3. Security Scan - npm audit + Trivy vulnerability scanner 4. Build & Push - Docker image to container registry 5. Deploy Staging - Environment-gated deployment 6. Deploy Production - Manual approval or automated

See templates/github-actions-pipeline.yml for complete GitHub Actions workflow

Container Best Practices

Multi-stage builds minimize image size:

  • Stage 1: Install production dependencies only
  • Stage 2: Build application with dev dependencies
  • Stage 3: Production runtime with minimal footprint

Security hardening:

  • Non-root user (uid 1001)
  • Read-only filesystem where possible
  • Health checks for orchestrator integration
See templates/Dockerfile and templates/docker-compose.yml

Kubernetes Deployment

Essential manifests:

  • Deployment with rolling update strategy
  • Service for internal routing
  • Ingress for external access with TLS
  • HorizontalPodAutoscaler for scaling

Security context:

  • runAsNonRoot: true
  • allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
  • readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
  • Drop all capabilities

Resource management:

  • Always set requests and limits
  • Use requests for scheduling, limits for throttling
See templates/k8s-manifests.yaml and templates/helm-values.yaml

Deployment Strategies

StrategyUse CaseRisk
RollingDefault, gradual replacementLow - automatic rollback
Blue-GreenInstant switch, easy rollbackMedium - double resources
CanaryProgressive traffic shiftLow - gradual exposure

Rolling Update (Kubernetes default):

strategy:
  type: RollingUpdate
  rollingUpdate:
    maxSurge: 25%
    maxUnavailable: 0  # Zero downtime

Blue-Green: Deploy to standby environment, switch service selector Canary: Use Istio VirtualService for traffic splitting (10% → 50% → 100%)

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform patterns:

  • Remote state in S3 with DynamoDB locking
  • Module-based architecture (VPC, EKS, RDS)
  • Environment-specific tfvars files
See templates/terraform-aws.tf for AWS VPC + EKS + RDS example

GitOps with ArgoCD

ArgoCD watches Git repository and syncs cluster state:

  • Automated sync with pruning
  • Self-healing (drift detection)
  • Retry policies for transient failures
See templates/argocd-application.yaml

Secrets Management

Use External Secrets Operator to sync from cloud providers:

  • AWS Secrets Manager
  • HashiCorp Vault
  • Azure Key Vault
  • GCP Secret Manager
See templates/external-secrets.yaml

Deployment Checklist

Pre-Deployment

  • [ ] All tests passing in CI
  • [ ] Security scans clean
  • [ ] Database migrations ready
  • [ ] Rollback plan documented

During Deployment

  • [ ] Monitor deployment progress
  • [ ] Watch error rates
  • [ ] Verify health checks passing

Post-Deployment

  • [ ] Verify metrics normal
  • [ ] Check logs for errors
  • [ ] Update status page

Extended Thinking Triggers

Use Opus 4.5 extended thinking for:

  • Architecture decisions - Kubernetes vs serverless, multi-region setup
  • Migration planning - Moving between cloud providers
  • Incident response - Complex deployment failures
  • Security design - Zero-trust architecture
