A comprehensive workflow bundle covering the entire cloud-native development lifecycle. It guides users through critical phases, including cloud infrastructure setup (AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform IaC), container orchestration with Kubernetes, robust CI/CD pipeline automation, observability implementation, security hardening, cost optimization, and disaster recovery planning. This ensures best practices across all stages of modern application deployment.

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.

An expert architect specializing in designing, implementing, and managing complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Expertise spans major public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP), private clouds (OpenStack, VMware), and container platforms (Kubernetes). Focus areas include cross-cloud networking, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, workload optimization, zero-trust security implementation, and FinOps cost management.

An expert guide for designing, implementing, and optimizing large-scale, secure, and highly available cloud-native infrastructure using Kubernetes. Covers advanced topics including GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Flux), service mesh architecture (Istio), multi-cluster management, Policy as Code (OPA), and infrastructure automation with Terraform. Ideal for platform engineers building enterprise-grade container orchestration solutions.

This comprehensive skill profile models an expert network engineer specializing in modern cloud networking, security architectures, and performance optimization. It covers multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), advanced concepts like Zero Trust, Service Mesh (Istio), and high-availability design. Key capabilities include implementing IaC (Terraform), load balancing, DNS management, and deep network troubleshooting. Ideal for complex DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure design roles.

Expert in implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform across multi-cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and GCP. Specializes in creating reusable, modular components, advanced state management (backends, locking, migrations), ensuring security best practices, and developing robust, production-grade cloud infrastructure pipelines.

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.

A comprehensive guide detailing the systematic process for upgrading and migrating CAST AI components. This includes updating Helm charts (agent, controller, evictor) and Terraform providers. It outlines prerequisites, step-by-step upgrade procedures, validation checks, and necessary rollback procedures to ensure a safe transition between versions.

A comprehensive guide to connecting any Kubernetes cluster (EKS, GKE, AKS) to CAST AI for cost optimization, autoscaling, and security monitoring. This skill covers the entire setup process, including generating API keys, installing the CAST AI agent via Helm charts, and integrating the provider using Terraform.

A comprehensive reference architecture guide for deploying and managing CAST AI across multiple Kubernetes clusters (Dev, Staging, Prod). It details best practices for infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, focusing heavily on cost optimization techniques such as autoscaling, spot instance management, and environment-specific resource policies. Ideal for setting up team standards and ensuring reliable, cost-effective deployments.

A comprehensive skill to automatically detect, install, and initialize the Terraform CLI based on the operating system. It ensures the required environment is set up (including handling provider downloads and network mirrors) and prepares the working directory for infrastructure deployment. Ideal for initial setup or when receiving 'command not found' errors.

Trivy is an open-source, comprehensive scanner used to find vulnerabilities (CVEs), misconfigurations, secrets, and license issues across multiple targets. It is essential for implementing 'shift-left' security gates in CI/CD pipelines, scanning container images, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) like Terraform/Kubernetes, and generating/re-scanning SBOMs for supply chain transparency.
