Does it include policy-as-code support?

Yes, it provides guidance for implementing governance and security policies using Kyverno and OPA Gatekeeper within your CI/CD flow.

Which GitOps controllers does it support?

The skill includes comprehensive configurations for both ArgoCD and Flux CD, including installation, ApplicationSets, and image automation.

Does this skill support OpenShift environments?

Yes, it provides specific commands and patterns for OpenShift/ARO clusters, automatically substituting kubectl for the oc CLI where appropriate.

Can I use this for multi-environment deployments?

Absolutely. It uses Kustomize overlays and Helm values-files strategies to manage consistent deployments across dev, staging, and production clusters.

How does it handle sensitive data in Git?

It provides implementation patterns for GitOps-friendly secret management using tools like Sealed Secrets, SOPS, and External Secrets Operator.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates Kubernetes and OpenShift deployments using industry-standard GitOps workflows and CI/CD pipeline integration.

About

This skill empowers Claude to architect and implement robust GitOps workflows for Kubernetes and OpenShift environments. It provides specialized guidance for setting up ArgoCD or Flux, managing multi-environment Kustomize overlays, and authoring production-grade Helm charts. Beyond basic deployment, it handles advanced patterns like progressive delivery (canary/blue-green), automated image promotion, and policy-as-code enforcement using Kyverno or OPA, ensuring your infrastructure follows the single source of truth principle within Git. Whether you are managing EKS, GKE, AKS, or OpenShift, this skill bridges the gap between manual CLI operations and automated, auditable delivery pipelines.
