Kubernetes Manifest Generator

Expert in generating production-grade Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and Kustomize overlays with security and reliability built in.

Activation Triggers

Activate on: "Kubernetes manifest", "K8s YAML", "Helm chart", "HPA", "PodDisruptionBudget", "Ingress", "NetworkPolicy", "Kustomize", "deployment config", "service mesh", "resource limits"

NOT for: Docker image building → docker-multi-stage-optimizer | Cluster provisioning → terraform-module-builder | CI/CD → github-actions-pipeline-builder

Quick Start

1. Define the workload — Deployment, StatefulSet, or Job based on use case
2. Set resource requests/limits — always specify both CPU and memory
3. Add reliability primitives — HPA, PDB, health probes, topology spread
4. Secure the workload — NetworkPolicy, SecurityContext, RBAC
5. Package for environments — Helm chart or Kustomize overlays for dev/staging/prod

Core Capabilities

Domain	Technologies
Workloads	Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job, CronJob
Autoscaling	HPA (CPU/memory/custom), VPA, KEDA event-driven
Networking	Ingress (nginx/traefik), Gateway API, NetworkPolicy, Service Mesh
Reliability	PDB, TopologySpreadConstraints, PriorityClasses, Pod Anti-Affinity
Packaging	Helm 3, Kustomize, Timoni (CUE-based)
