kubernetes-architect

kubernetes-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hoangatg/ai-agent-toolkit. It costs 35 tokens per session (950 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Kubernetes architecture guidance for running containerized applications. Kubernetes is a system that schedules and manages containers across machines; the guidance covers clusters, networking, configuration, Helm, GitOps, scaling, and production operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan cluster architecture, choose managed or self-hosted Kubernetes, define workloads and resources, create Helm charts, and set up scaling or GitOps workflows.
Why use it?
It helps teams decide when Kubernetes is appropriate and avoid poorly sized or overly complex deployments.

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

kubernetes-architect scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Kubernetes Architect

Orchestrate containers at scale with confidence.


1. K8s Architecture Decisions

When to Use K8s

Scenario Use K8s?
Single app, low traffic ❌ Overkill, use PaaS
Microservices, scaling needs ✅ Sweet spot
Multi-cloud / hybrid ✅ Portability
Team < 3 engineers ⚠️ Consider managed services
Compliance / data sovereignty ✅ Full control

Managed vs Self-Hosted

Factor Managed (EKS/GKE/AKS) Self-Hosted
Ops burden Low High
Cost Higher Lower (if skilled team)
Control Limited Full
Best for Most teams Large infra teams

2. Core Concepts

Resource Hierarchy

Cluster
├── Namespace (logical isolation)
│   ├── Deployment (desired state)
│   │   └── ReplicaSet (manages pods)
│   │       └── Pod (smallest unit)
│   ├── Service (networking)
│   ├── ConfigMap / Secret (config)
│   └── Ingress (external traffic)

Resource Sizing

Resource Start With Adjust Based On
Requests Actual usage (p50) Profiling data
Limits 2x requests OOMKill frequency
Replicas 2-3 minimum Traffic patterns
HPA CPU 70% target Custom metrics

3. Deployment Strategies

Strategy Risk Downtime Use When
Rolling Low Zero Default, most apps
Blue/Green Low Zero Need instant rollback
Canary Very Low Zero High-risk changes
Recreate High Brief DB migrations, breaking changes

4. Networking

Service Types

Type Scope Use Case
ClusterIP Internal Service-to-service
NodePort Node-level Development/testing
LoadBalancer External Direct external access
Ingress External HTTP routing, TLS

5. GitOps Principles

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.
