Can it help migrate from kOps to EKS?

Absolutely. It provides a detailed pre-migration assessment checklist and provisioning patterns for EKS managed node groups to replace kOps clusters.

What CI/CD platforms are specifically supported?

While the logic can be adapted, it provides specific, high-quality patterns for Azure DevOps pipelines, including stage-based deployments and manual approval gates.

Does this skill support Terraform 1.5+ import blocks?

Yes, it prioritizes the use of native import blocks and the -generate-config-out flag to simplify the process of adopting existing resources into state.

How does it handle state management for multi-cloud setups?

It implements remote state management using S3 with DynamoDB locking for AWS and Azure Blob Storage for Azure, ensuring state files are never mixed between providers.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the transition of legacy infrastructure to standardized GitOps workflows using Terraform, Ansible, and Azure DevOps.

This skill provides specialized guidance for migrating existing manual or kOps-managed infrastructure into a production-ready GitOps model. It implements standardized patterns for Terraform directory structures, resource importing using modern blocks (v1.5+), and Ansible role design for configuration management. It is specifically optimized for complex cloud migrations, including transitioning Kubernetes clusters from kOps to EKS, managing RDS and Redshift instances, and establishing robust CI/CD pipelines within Azure DevOps for Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Key Features

01Best-practice Ansible role design for idempotent OS-level configuration.

02Standardized flat-directory Terraform structures for multi-environment isolation.

03Production-grade Azure DevOps pipeline templates with manual approval gates.

04Guided resource adoption using Terraform 1.5+ import blocks and generated configs.

05Automated migration patterns for moving kOps clusters to Amazon EKS with IRSA.

060 GitHub stars

Use Cases

01Planning and executing a blue/green migration from kOps-managed Kubernetes to EKS.

02Converting manually created AWS or Azure resources into managed Terraform state.

03Standardizing database provisioning for RDS and Redshift across dev, staging, and prod.
