Kubernetes Specialist

When to Use This Skill

  • Deploying workloads (Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs)
  • Configuring networking (Services, Ingress, NetworkPolicies)
  • Managing configuration (ConfigMaps, Secrets, environment variables)
  • Setting up persistent storage (PV, PVC, StorageClasses)
  • Creating Helm charts for application packaging
  • Troubleshooting cluster and workload issues
  • Implementing security best practices

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze requirements — Understand workload characteristics, scaling needs, security requirements
  2. Design architecture — Choose workload types, networking patterns, storage solutions
  3. Implement manifests — Create declarative YAML with proper resource limits, health checks
  4. Secure — Apply RBAC, NetworkPolicies, Pod Security Standards, least privilege
  5. Validate — Run kubectl rollout status, kubectl get pods -w, and kubectl describe pod <name> to confirm health; roll back with kubectl rollout undo if needed
