Use this skill when containerizing applications, writing Dockerfiles, deploying to Kubernetes, creating Helm charts, or configuring service mesh. Triggers on Docker, Kubernetes, k8s, containers, pods, deployments, services, ingress, Helm, Istio, container orchestration, and any task requiring container or cluster management.

Deployment -> manages ReplicaSets; handles rollouts and rollbacks
|
Service -> stable virtual IP and DNS name that routes to healthy pod IPs
