provisioning-cluster-for-production

provisioning-cluster-for-production is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cockroachdb/cursor-plugin. It costs 96 tokens per session (3,028 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of provisioning-cluster-for-production, Apache-2.0.

A guide to creating a CockroachDB cluster and preparing it to run in production. Production means the live environment serving real users or business workloads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new cluster, deploy it on servers, virtual machines, or Kubernetes, configure a Cloud cluster, or check whether a development or staging setup is ready for production.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty around deployment choices, hardware sizing, and production settings, which vary between self-hosted installations and CockroachDB Cloud plans.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

provisioning-cluster-for-production scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Provisioning Cluster for Production

Guides CockroachDB cluster creation and production deployment configuration. Before providing procedures, this skill gathers context to deliver tier-appropriate provisioning steps and production hardening guidance.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating a new CockroachDB cluster
  • Preparing a development/staging cluster for production go-live
  • Validating hardware and configuration for production readiness
  • Choosing the right deployment tier and sizing

For post-deployment health checks: Use reviewing-cluster-health. For ongoing settings management: Use managing-cluster-settings. For capacity changes after deployment: Use managing-cluster-capacity.


Step 1: Gather Context

Required Context

Question Options Why It Matters
Deployment tier? Self-Hosted, Advanced, BYOC, Standard, Basic Completely different provisioning procedures
Environment? Production, Staging, Development Determines hardware sizing and configuration rigor

Additional Context (by tier)

If Self-Hosted:

Question Options Why It Matters
Platform? Bare metal, VMs (AWS/GCP/Azure), Kubernetes Changes installation and start commands
If Kubernetes? Operator (recommended), Helm, Manual StatefulSet Determines deployment method
Node count? 3 (minimum), 5, 9+ Affects topology and replication
Multi-region? Yes (how many regions), No Requires locality flags and topology planning
Expected workload? OLTP, mixed OLTP/analytics, write-heavy Affects hardware sizing
Security requirements? TLS required, encryption at rest, CMEK Determines certificate and encryption setup

If Advanced or BYOC:

Question Options Why It Matters
Provisioning method? Cloud Console, Cloud API, Terraform Determines procedure
Cloud provider? AWS, GCP, Azure Affects region selection and networking
Node count and size? e.g., 3 nodes x 8 vCPUs Determines initial capacity

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
