name: Orchestrating with Kubernetes description: The agent implements Kubernetes container orchestration with deployments, services, Helm charts, and production patterns. Use when deploying containerized applications, configuring autoscaling, managing secrets, or setting up ingress routing.

Orchestrating with Kubernetes

Quick Start

Copy# deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: api-server
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: api-server
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: api-server
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: api
          image: ghcr.io/org/api:v1.0.0
          ports:
            - containerPort: 3000
          resources:
            requests: { cpu: "100m", memory: "256Mi" }
            limits: { cpu: "500m", memory: "512Mi" }

Copykubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

Features

Common Patterns

Production Deployment with Probes

Copyspec:
  containers:
    - name: api
      image: ghcr.io/org/api:v1.0.0
      livenessProbe:
        httpGet: { path: /health/live, port: 3000 }
        initialDelaySeconds: 15
        periodSeconds: 20
      readinessProbe:
        httpGet: { path: /health/ready, port: 3000 }
        initialDelaySeconds: 5
        periodSeconds: 10
      env:
        - name: DATABASE_URL
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef: { name: app-secrets, key: database-url }

Horizontal Pod Autoscaler

CopyapiVersion: autoscaling/v2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: api-server
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: api-server
  minReplicas: 3
  maxReplicas: 20
  metrics:
    - type: Resource
      resource: { name: cpu, target: { type: Utilization, averageUtilization: 70 } }

Ingress with TLS

CopyapiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: api-ingress
  annotations:
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
spec:
  tls:
    - hosts: [api.example.com]
      secretName: api-tls
  rules:
    - host: api.example.com
      http:
        paths:
          - path: /
            pathType: Prefix
            backend:
              service: { name: api-server, port: { number: 80 } }
