Rollout Restart

Restart a deployment and monitor rollout. Uses devops persona (k8s tools).

Inputs

Input	Type	Default	Purpose
deployment	string	required	Deployment name
namespace	string	required	Kubernetes namespace
environment	string	stage	stage, production, ephemeral
wait	bool	true	Wait for rollout to complete

Workflow

1. Load Persona

• persona_load("devops")

2. Pre-Restart Check

• kubectl_describe_deployment(deployment="{{ deployment }}", namespace="{{ namespace }}", environment="{{ environment }}")
• Verify deployment exists (replicas > 0)

3. Restart

• kubectl_rollout_restart(deployment="{{ deployment }}", namespace="{{ namespace }}", environment="{{ environment }}")

4. Monitor (if wait)

• kubectl_rollout_status(deployment="{{ deployment }}", namespace="{{ namespace }}", environment="{{ environment }}")

5. Post-Restart

• kubectl_get_pods(namespace="{{ namespace }}", environment="{{ environment }}")
• Filter pods for this deployment; count Running/Pending/Failed

6. Optional: Verify Environment

• skill_run("environment_overview", '{"namespace": "{{ namespace }}", "environment": "{{ environment }}"}')

7. Error Recovery

• "unauthorized" → kube_login(cluster="stage" or "prod")
• "deployment not found" → kubectl_get_deployments() to list available

8. Memory

• memory_session_log("Restarted deployment", "{{ deployment }} in {{ namespace }}, healthy={{ healthy }}")

Output

Report: namespace, environment, restart status, before state (replicas, image), rollout status, pod health (Running/Pending/Failed), and log commands if unhealthy.
