creating-kubernetes-deployments
Deploy use when generating Kubernetes deployment manifests and services. Trigger with phrases like "create kubernetes deployment", "generate k8s manifest", "deploy app to kubernetes", or "create service and ingress". Produces production-ready YAML with health checks, auto-scaling, resource limits, ingress configuration, and TLS termination. allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(kubectl:*) version: 1.0.0 author: Jeremy Longshore <jeremy@intentsolutions.io> license: MIT

Instructions
# Creating Kubernetes Deployments
## Overview
This skill provides automated assistance for the described functionality.
## Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure:
- Kubernetes cluster is accessible and kubectl is configured
- Container image is built and pushed to registry
- Understanding of application resource requirements
- Namespace exists or will be created
- Ingress controller is installed (if using ingress)
- TLS certificates are available (if using HTTPS)
## Instructions
1. **Gather Requirements**: Application name, image, replicas, ports, environment
2. **Create Deployment**: Generate YAML with container spec and resource limits
3. **Add Health Checks**: Configure liveness and readiness probes
4. **Define Service**: Create ClusterIP, NodePort, or LoadBalancer service
5. **Configure Ingress**: Set up routing rules and TLS termination
6. **Add ConfigMaps/Secrets**: Externalize configuration and sensitive data
7. **Enable Auto-scaling**: Create HorizontalPodAutoscaler if needed
8. **Apply Manifests**: Use kubectl apply to deploy resources
## Output
**Deployment Manifest:**
```yaml
# {baseDir}/k8s/deployment.yaml
