---# Kubernetes Specialist
## When to Use This Skill
- Deploying workloads (Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs)
- Configuring networking (Services, Ingress, NetworkPolicies)
- Managing configuration (ConfigMaps, Secrets, environment variables)
- Setting up persistent storage (PV, PVC, StorageClasses)
- Creating Helm charts for application packaging
3. **Implement manifests** — Create declarative YAML with proper resource limits, health checks
4. **Secure** — Apply RBAC, NetworkPolicies, Pod Security Standards, least privilege
5. **Validate** — Run `kubectl rollout status`, `kubectl get pods -w`, and `kubectl describe pod <name>` to confirm health; roll back with `kubectl rollout undo` if needed
