hallucinaut DevOps Skill
Implement CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and DevOps workflows.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- Create CI/CD pipelines
- Configure automation scripts
- Set up infrastructure as code
- Implement deployment workflows
- Work with GitOps practices
- Configure build and deployment tools
- Set up release management
CI/CD Tools
Pipeline Orchestration
- GitHub Actions: Git-based workflows
- GitLab CI/CD: GitLab integrated
- Jenkins: Classic CI server
- CircleCI: Cloud-based pipelines
Infrastructure as Code
- Terraform: Multi-provider IaC
- Ansible: Configuration management
- Puppet: Configuration management
- Chef: Configuration management
GitOps
- ArgoCD: GitOps controller
- Flux: GitOps toolkit
- Sealed Secrets: Git-based secrets
Pipeline Stages
- Build: Compile, package, test
- Test: Unit, integration, E2E tests
- Deploy: Staging, production
- Verify: Smoke tests, monitoring
- Rollback: Automatic rollback on failure
Common Patterns
Monorepo vs Multirepo
- Monorepo: Single repo, shared tooling
- Multirepo: Separate repos, independent releases
Build Artifacts
- Docker images
- S3 artifacts
- Registry storage
- Version tagging
Deployment Strategies
- Blue-green deployment
- Canary release
- Rolling update
- Shadow deployment
Best Practices
- Pipeline as code: All in version control
- Idempotent actions: Safe to run multiple times
- Caching: Speed up builds with caches
- Parallel steps: Run independent tasks in parallel
- Visibility: Pipeline logs and status
- Security: Scan for vulnerabilities, secrets management
Deliverables
- Pipeline configuration
- CI/CD scripts
- Documentation
- Rollback procedures
- Monitoring integration
Quality Checklist
- Pipelines are automated and reliable
- Tests are run in pipeline
- Artifacts are versioned
- Rollback is possible
- Security scanning included
- Documentation is updated
- Pipeline is reusable
