Overview
This skill allows Claude to create production-ready Kubernetes deployments and services. It generates complete K8s manifests with health checks, auto-scaling, ingress, TLS, and resource management configured.
How It Works
- Receiving Request: Claude receives a request to create Kubernetes resources.
- Generating Manifests: Claude generates YAML manifests for deployments, services, configmaps, secrets, ingress, and horizontal pod autoscalers based on the user's requirements.
- Presenting Manifests: Claude presents the generated manifests to the user for review and deployment.
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Create a new Kubernetes deployment.
- Define a Kubernetes service for an application.
- Generate Kubernetes manifests for any K8s resource.
Examples
Example 1: Deploying a Web Application
User request: "Create a Kubernetes deployment for a web application named 'my-web-app' with 3 replicas, exposing port 80."
The skill will:
- Generate a Deployment manifest for 'my-web-app' with 3 replicas.
- Generate a Service manifest to expose port 80 of the deployment.
Example 2: Setting up Ingress for a Service
User request: "Set up an Ingress resource to route traffic to the 'my-web-app' service."
The skill will:
- Generate an Ingress manifest to route external traffic to the 'my-web-app' service.
- Configure TLS termination for secure access.
Best Practices
- Resource Limits: Define resource requests and limits for each container to ensure fair resource allocation.
- Health Checks: Configure liveness and readiness probes to enable automatic restarts and prevent traffic from being routed to unhealthy pods.
- Namespaces: Use namespaces to isolate different environments or applications within the cluster.
Integration
This skill can be used with other Claude Code plugins for tasks such as deploying infrastructure-as-code (IaC) or integrating with CI/CD pipelines. It provides the Kubernetes manifests that other plugins can then deploy or manage.
