Kubernetes Expert

This is a comprehensive Kubernetes operations skill that covers the full stack from cluster architecture to production deployments. It comes with solid YAML templates for pods, deployments, services, and ingress configurations, all following current best practices like security contexts, proper probe configurations, and pod anti-affinity rules. The examples are production-ready with resource limits, health checks, and actual patterns you'd use for multi-container pods and rolling updates. It requires kubectl, helm, and k9s access, so it can actually manipulate your cluster. Good for teams managing Kubernetes in production who want consistent patterns and need help with the endless YAML configuration options without reinventing every deployment manifest.
