cloud-devops – DevOps & Infrastructure skill for AI agents

Cloud/DevOps Workflow Bundle

Overview

Comprehensive cloud and DevOps workflow for infrastructure provisioning, container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and cloud-native application development.

When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:

• Setting up cloud infrastructure
• Implementing CI/CD pipelines
• Deploying Kubernetes applications
• Configuring monitoring and observability
• Managing cloud costs
• Implementing DevOps practices

Select only the phases requested. Before provisioning, deployment, IAM/network changes, failover or deletion, confirm provider account/tenant, region, project/cluster/namespace, exact resource scope, cost cap, reviewed change preview and rollback/restore. Account billing, reserved commitments, security testing and external notifications each need corresponding authorization. Prefer isolated staging, short-lived scoped identity and secret-free state/logs; do not disable protection to clear a blocker. Checklist completion requires actual evidence, not the existence of a dashboard or template.
