K8s Observability And Operations Readiness

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: devops  ·  Last updated:
tool:k8stype:audit
Use when wiring metrics, logs, traces, and operational readiness for a Kubernetes workload or namespace after operations and reliability have decided the observability substrate, SLOs, and runbook hooks. Produces ServiceMonitor/PodMonitor scrape wiring, kube-state-metrics and cAdvisor signal coverage, log-shipping configuration (Fluent Bit / Vector / Loki / cloud-native), OpenTelemetry collector wiring for traces, SLO alert rules, audit-log collection, and runbook inputs for pod-eviction storms, ImagePullBackOff sprees, and node-pressure incidents. Do not use for base manifest authoring, network/identity policy, autoscaler tuning, image hardening, or the observability backend/substrate decision and cluster provisioning; use the other Family G archetype skills (substrate selection is upstream; cluster provisioning is out of family).

What this skill does

K8s Observability And Operations Readiness is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/k8s-observability-and-operations-readiness/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
