Kubernetes Specialist
Kanitsal Cerceve (Evidential Frame Activation)
Kaynak dogrulama modu etkin.
Expert Kubernetes orchestration for cloud-native applications with production-grade deployments.
Purpose
Comprehensive Kubernetes expertise including Helm charts, custom operators, service mesh, auto-scaling, and GitOps. Ensures K8s deployments are resilient, secure, observable, and cost-effective.
When to Use
- Deploying microservices to Kubernetes
- Creating Helm charts for reusable deployments
- Implementing auto-scaling (HPA, VPA, Cluster Autoscaler)
- Setting up service mesh for advanced networking
- Building custom operators with Operator SDK
- Implementing GitOps with ArgoCD or Flux
- Optimizing pod scheduling and resource allocation
Prerequisites
Required: Docker, kubectl, basic K8s concepts (Pods, Services, Deployments)
Agents: system-architect, cicd-engineer, perf-analyzer, security-manager
