A comprehensive guide featuring best practices and patterns for building robust GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Covers multi-stage deployments, containerization (Docker), infrastructure as code (Terraform), security scanning, caching strategies, and advanced GitOps workflows for automated testing and deployment to Kubernetes.

A comprehensive guide detailing how to implement declarative, Git-based continuous delivery for Kubernetes. It covers setup using industry-leading tools like ArgoCD and Flux CD, adhering to OpenGitOps principles for automated, reliable, and traceable application deployments and infrastructure management.

This utility facilitates the end-to-end deployment of Guidewire integrations to the Cloud Platform. It manages the full release lifecycle, including building configuration packages using Gradle, uploading to the Guidewire Cloud Console (GCC), and promoting deployments through various environments (dev, staging, prod). It supports advanced features like zero-downtime releases and robust rollbacks.

A comprehensive guide covering advanced traffic routing and management techniques within a service mesh using Istio. Learn how to implement critical deployment strategies like Canary releases and Blue-Green deployments, configure circuit breakers, manage retries, and perform fault injection testing. Includes YAML templates for VirtualService, DestinationRule, and Gateway setup, essential for reliable production service deployments.

Comprehensive patterns and best practices for deploying and managing microservices using the Linkerd service mesh on Kubernetes. Covers automatic mTLS, sophisticated traffic splitting for canary deployments, setting Service Profiles for enhanced resilience (retries/timeouts), and defining robust authorization policies.

A comprehensive, multi-phase workflow designed for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform. It guides users through provisioning cloud resources, creating reusable modules, managing complex state, handling multi-environment deployments, and integrating robust CI/CD pipelines and security practices. Ideal for establishing scalable, repeatable, and auditable cloud infrastructure.

This guide provides comprehensive methods for load testing and capacity planning of Vercel serverless deployments. Learn how to use professional tools like k6 and autocannon to simulate realistic traffic spikes, measure latency (P95, P99), analyze cold start impact, and tune concurrency settings (Fluid Compute) to ensure optimal application performance and scalability under heavy load.

This skill enables comprehensive audit logging for Windsurf Enterprise deployments. It covers tracking of AI interactions, file access events, authentication changes, and overall configuration modifications. It is essential for maintaining strict compliance standards and performing detailed security audits, particularly when the user mentions audit or compliance keywords.

A comprehensive guide and methodology for proactively detecting webshell deployments on internet-facing servers. It focuses on analyzing file system anomalies, suspicious process spawning from web applications, and identifying unusual HTTP traffic patterns. Ideal for security operations centers (SOCs) during threat hunting, incident response, and purple team exercises.

OPA Gatekeeper is a powerful Kubernetes admission controller that enforces policies using Rego rules. It utilizes ConstraintTemplates and Constraints to validate, mutate, or deny API requests at the cluster admission stage. This tool is essential for implementing policy-as-code practices, ensuring that Kubernetes deployments adhere to organizational security standards, compliance requirements, and best practices, such as mandating labels or blocking privileged containers.

An open-source tool based on the CIS Docker Benchmark. It systematically audits critical security aspects of Docker deployments, including host configuration, daemon settings, and container runtime. It generates a detailed compliance report (pass/fail/warn) to ensure best practices and security compliance in production environments.

This comprehensive guide outlines the end-to-end security lifecycle for Kubernetes applications deployed via Helm. It covers critical topics such as chart provenance verification (GPG signing), template scanning (using tools like kubesec and checkov), enforcing strict security contexts, managing secrets securely (ExternalSecrets), and defining robust RBAC rules for CI/CD pipelines.
