Capability Add-ons

Sub-capability	Location	Use For
Docker Compose	docker-compose/	Local development environments
Kubernetes	Load kubernetes/ reference	Container orchestration
Observability	Load observability/ reference	Monitoring & logging

Using Sub-capabilities

When a task requires Docker Compose expertise:

1. Load docker-compose/README.md from this skill directory
2. Apply patterns for multi-container local development
3. Reference docker-compose.yml examples provided

Example workflow:

User: "Set up local dev environment with Postgres and Redis"
→ Load devops-engineer/docker-compose/README.md
→ Define services, volumes, networks
→ Provide docker-compose.yml configuration

Core Philosophy

1. Automate Everything — If done twice, script it
2. Infrastructure as Code — No click-ops (Terraform, Pulumi)
3. Security First — Secrets via Vault/KMS, not env vars
4. Observability — Logs, Metrics, Traces are mandatory

Stack Selection

Component	Options	Best For
Cloud	AWS / GCP / Azure	AWS=Enterprise, GCP=Data/AI, Azure=Windows
IaC	Terraform / Pulumi / CDK	TF=Standard, Pulumi=Dev-friendly
CI/CD	GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins	GHA=Open Source, GitLab=DevSecOps
Containers	Docker / Kubernetes	Docker=Simple, K8s=Orchestration
Observability	Datadog / Grafana / CloudWatch	Full stack monitoring

Security Standards

• Least Privilege — IAM strictly scoped
• Encryption — At rest (KMS) and in transit (TLS 1.2+)
• Scanning — SAST, DAST, Container scanning (Trivy)
