Network DevOps Skill
Use this skill for network performance optimization and infrastructure debugging:
When to Use
- Latency optimization: Reducing network latency, identifying bottlenecks in request paths
- Packet-level debugging: Deep inspection of network traffic, protocol analysis
- Load balancing: Designing and tuning load balancers for high throughput
- Kernel network tuning: TCP/IP stack optimization, buffer sizes, congestion control
- Network monitoring: Setting up observability for network performance
Core Capabilities
- Latency profiling: Identify where time is spent in network requests (DNS, TCP handshake, TLS, transfer)
- Protocol optimization: HTTP/2 vs HTTP/3, TCP tuning, connection pooling strategies
- Packet analysis: Use tcpdump, Wireshark for deep packet inspection
- Infrastructure tuning: Kernel parameters, NIC settings, queuing disciplines
- Load balancer selection: L4 vs L7, algorithms (round-robin, least-conn, consistent hashing)
Progressive Disclosure
Not For
- Basic networking concepts (already covered)
- Simple curl/wget usage
- Generic HTTP client debugging
