--- name: kubernetes-basics description: Kubernetes fundamentals workflow for workload deployment, service discovery, and baseline cluster primitives. Use when teams need concrete namespace/workload/service/probe decisions before deployment; do not use for API contract design or requirement prioritization. license: Apache-2.0 --- # Kubernetes Basics ## Overview Use this skill to define a deployable Kubernetes baseline that is reproducible and operationally verifiable. ## Scope Boundaries - Use this skill when the task matches the trigger condition described in `description`. - Do not use this skill when the primary task falls outside this skill's domain. ## Shared References - Service discovery and probe rules: - `references/service-discovery-and-probe-rules.md` ## Templates And Assets - Baseline workload manifest: - `assets/workload-baseline-template.yaml` - Basics verification checklist: - `assets/k8s-basics-checklist.md` ## Inputs To Gather - Target workloads and service exposure model. - Namespace and resource-boundary requirements. - Health signal requirements and dependency expectations. - Rollout and rollback expectations. ## Deliverables - Baseline workload/service manifest set. - Probe and discovery policy aligned with runtime behavior. - Namespace/resource boundary decisions. - Deployment verification checklist and evidence. ## Workflow 1. Define workload/service baseline using `assets/workload-baseline-template.yaml`. 2. Apply probe and discovery guidance from `references/service-discovery-and-probe-rules.md`. 3. Align namespace/resource boundaries with ownership and blast radius. 4. Validate deployment behavior via `assets/k8s-basics-checklist.md`. 5. Publish residual risks and follow-up actions. ## Quality Standard - Baseline manifests are declarative and reviewable. - Service routing and probe semantics are explicit. - Readiness reflects true traffic-safety conditions. - Rollback path is clear before production rollout. ## Failure Conditions - Stop when baseline workloads cannot be deployed reliably on target cluster. - Stop when probes do not represent meaningful application health. - Escalate when namespace/resource boundaries remain ambiguous.

azure-enterprise-infra-planner
microsoft/azure-skills
Architect and provision enterprise Azure infrastructure from workload descriptions. For cloud architects and platform engineers planning networking, identity, security, compliance, and multi-resource topologies with WAF alignment. Generates Bicep or Terraform directly (no azd). WHEN: 'plan Azure infrastructure', 'architect Azure landing zone', 'design hub-spoke network', 'plan multi-region DR topology', 'set up VNets firewalls and private endpoints', 'subscription-scope Bicep deployment', 'Azure Backup for VM workloads'. PREFER azure-prepare FOR app-centric workflows.
azure-kubernetes-app-deploy
microsoft/azure-skills
Use when deploying an existing web application or API to an already-running Azure Kubernetes Service cluster. Detects the framework, generates a Dockerfile and Kubernetes manifests, validates against AKS Deployment Safeguards, and deploys with verification. WHEN: deploy app to AKS, deploy to existing AKS cluster, containerize app for Kubernetes, generate K8s manifests for Azure, set up CI/CD for AKS, my AKS deployment is failing safeguard checks, I have a Django/Express/Spring Boot app to run on AKS. DO NOT USE FOR: creating or provisioning an AKS cluster (use azure-kubernetes), assessing migration to AKS Automatic (use azure-kubernetes-automatic-readiness), or deploying to non-AKS targets like Web Apps, Container Apps, or Functions.
finetuning
microsoft/azure-skills
Fine-tune models on Microsoft Foundry using SFT (supervised), DPO (preference), or RFT (reinforcement with graders). Covers dataset preparation, training job submission, deployment, and evaluation. USE FOR: fine-tune, SFT, DPO, RFT, training data, grader, distillation, fine-tuned model, training job, large file upload, calibrate grader, deploy fine-tuned model, evaluate fine-tuned model. DO NOT USE FOR: general model deployment without fine-tuning (use deploy-model), agent creation (use agents), prompt optimization without training (use prompt-optimizer).
