Status: ✅ Research complete Last validated: 2025-11-08 Confidence: 🟡 Medium — Research-backed platform guide – review quarterly

How to use this skill

1. Review modules/core-guidance.md to scope workloads, platform constraints, and SLAs.
2. Establish image and cluster baselines via modules/platform-foundations.md.
3. Design rollout strategy with modules/deployment-patterns.md.
4. Harden supply chain and runtime using modules/security-and-compliance.md.
5. Implement monitoring, autoscaling, and ops workflows from modules/observability-and-operations.md.
6. Track open research in modules/known-gaps.md and refresh quarterly with modules/research-checklist.md.

Module overview

• Core guidance — intake checklist, platform fit analysis, stakeholder alignment.
• Platform foundations — container image build hygiene, registries, cluster architecture.
• Deployment patterns — manifests, GitOps, rollout strategies, multi-environment setup.
• Security & compliance — supply chain, policy-as-code, runtime security.
• Observability & operations — monitoring, autoscaling, cost controls, incident response.
• Known gaps — research backlog.
• Research checklist — quarterly refresh workflow.

Research status

• Content aligned with Kubernetes 1.30, latest OCI image guidance, and major managed Kubernetes providers.
• Next review due 2026-02-01 or sooner if Kubernetes 1.31 introduces breaking changes.
• Known gaps focus on serverless container platforms and WASM workloads pending deeper validation.
