ops-devops-platform

This skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for modern DevOps and platform engineering teams. It offers actionable templates, decision-making workflows, and operational patterns designed to streamline infrastructure management, automate deployment pipelines, and improve system reliability. Whether building self-service internal developer portals or managing complex production environments, this skill serves as a high-fidelity reference for best practices across the cloud-native ecosystem.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) management using Terraform, OpenTofu, and Pulumi for declarative resource provisioning.

• GitOps workflow implementation leveraging Argo CD and Flux for continuous reconciliation and automated deployments.

• Kubernetes operational support including cluster management, Helm chart handling, and workload scaling.

• CI/CD pipeline optimization for GitHub Actions with integrated DevSecOps, including security scanning, vulnerability analysis, and policy-as-code enforcement via OPA or Kyverno.

• Comprehensive observability and monitoring capabilities using Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and eBPF-powered tools like Cilium and Tetragon.

• SRE incident management processes covering on-call rotations, PagerDuty/Opsgenie integration, blameless postmortems, and service level objective (SLO) tracking.

• Intended for SREs, DevOps engineers, and platform architects looking to standardize operational procedures and golden paths.

• Provides a decision tree for selecting optimal stacks for infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and incident management based on team requirements.

• Facilitates the transition to cloud-native operations by providing standardized command references and configuration patterns.

• Emphasizes security-first approaches, including SBOM generation, artifact signing, and kernel-level runtime security.

• Supports the deployment of internal developer platforms (IDPs) using tools like Backstage or Port to enhance developer productivity and self-service capabilities.
