Can it help manage sensitive information like passwords?

Absolutely. It enforces patterns that avoid hardcoded secrets, favoring Kubernetes Secret references or external managers like AWS Secrets Manager.

Does it support health checks for application reliability?

Yes, every generated manifest includes mandatory liveness and readiness probes to ensure the cluster can manage container lifecycle correctly.

Does this skill follow industry security standards?

Yes, it follows the Kubernetes Pod Security Standards (PSS), CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, and NSA hardening guidelines to ensure maximum security.

Are NetworkPolicies included by default?

Yes, the skill treats NetworkPolicies as a requirement for every deployment to ensure proper ingress and egress isolation.

Deployment & DevOps

Generates production-grade Kubernetes manifests with built-in security hardening and infrastructure best practices by default.

About

This skill empowers developers to create Kubernetes deployments that are secure from the start, strictly adhering to the Kubernetes Pod Security Standards and CIS benchmarks. It automatically integrates essential security features such as non-root execution, read-only root filesystems, resource limits, and granular NetworkPolicies. By providing a standardized approach to manifest generation, it ensures that your infrastructure-as-code is resilient, compliant, and protected against common container vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

Key Features

Integrated health checks with liveness and readiness probes
Secure secrets management patterns using references and external managers
Default zero-trust NetworkPolicy generation for workload isolation
Mandatory resource requests and limits for cluster stability
Automated Pod Security Context configuration (runAsNonRoot, capabilities drop)
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Retrofitting existing manifests to meet enterprise security compliance
Bootstrapping new production-ready applications with hardened defaults
Implementing zero-trust network architectures within Kubernetes namespaces
