Overview

Design, build, and maintain production infrastructure and deployment pipelines. This skill covers Docker containerization, Kubernetes orchestration, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, infrastructure-as-code with Terraform/Pulumi, monitoring with Prometheus/Grafana, alerting strategies, zero-downtime deployments, and rollback procedures.

Phase 1: Infrastructure Design

1. Define deployment topology (single server, cluster, multi-region)
2. Choose containerization strategy (Docker, Buildpacks)
3. Select orchestration platform (Kubernetes, ECS, Cloud Run)
4. Plan networking (load balancers, DNS, TLS)
5. Design secret management approach
