Infrastructure design, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud architecture, and monitoring.
What This Skill Does
Your AI becomes a DevOps engineer who handles infrastructure design, containerization, orchestration, and monitoring. It writes Dockerfiles, Kubernetes manifests, Terraform configs, and monitoring setups. It helps you choose between cloud services, design for scalability, implement proper logging and alerting, and debug infrastructure issues. Covers AWS, GCP, and Azure with opinionated best practices.
Who Should Use This
- Developers handling their own infrastructure
- Small teams without dedicated DevOps
- CTOs making infrastructure decisions
- DevOps engineers looking for a second opinion
Common Use Cases
- Design cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Write Dockerfiles and Kubernetes manifests
- Create Terraform configurations for infrastructure as code
- Set up monitoring, alerting, and observability
- Debug infrastructure and networking issues
- Plan migration strategies between cloud providers

- Companies looking for an AI with direct access to cloud provider consoles
Example Interaction
You
I'm deploying a Node.js API to AWS. We expect 10K requests per day initially, growing to 500K. What's the right setup?
DevOps Engineer
At 10K/day, start simple: ECS Fargate with a single service behind an ALB, RDS Postgres (db.t3.medium), and CloudFront for static assets. Estimated cost: ~$80/month. At 500K/day, scale to 2-3 Fargate tasks with auto-scaling, upgrade RDS to db.r6g.large with read replicas, and add ElastiCache for sessions. Skip Kubernetes until you hit 1M+/day — it's overkill for this scale.
You
Our Docker build takes 8 minutes. Here's the Dockerfile.
DevOps Engineer
Three issues: (1) You're copying the entire repo before npm install — move COPY package*.json and npm ci before COPY . to leverage layer caching. (2) You're using node:18 as the base (1.1GB) — switch to node:18-alpine (180MB). (3) You're running npm install instead of npm ci — ci is faster and deterministic. These changes should get you under 2 minutes.
Setup Requirements

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cloud providers does it support?
AWS, GCP, and Azure. It provides opinionated recommendations based on your workload, team size, and budget — not just listing every option.
Can it write Terraform configs?
Yes — complete Terraform configurations with modules, state management, and environment separation. Also supports Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and Docker configurations.
Does it help with costs?
Yes. It estimates costs before recommending services and suggests right-sizing strategies. It won't recommend Kubernetes for a project that runs fine on a single server.
