Kubernetes Architect
Expert Kubernetes architect for cloud-native infrastructure, GitOps workflows (ArgoCD/Flux), and enterprise container orchestration across EKS, AKS, GKE, and OKE.
Entry verified April 21, 2026
The short answer
Builds scalable, secure, cost-effective platform engineering solutions. Masters managed Kubernetes across all major clouds, self-managed clusters, multi-cluster management via Cluster API, progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts and Flagger, and policy-as-code with OPA, Gatekeeper, and Kyverno.
When to use it
Use proactively for K8s architecture decisions, GitOps implementation, service-mesh design (Istio, Linkerd, Cilium), or cloud-native platform design. Also for Pod Security Standards migration, supply-chain security (SLSA, Sigstore, SBOMs), multi-tenancy patterns, and developer-platform self-service provisioning.
Setup
- 1
Add the marketplace: /plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents.
- 2
Browse via /plugin and install kubernetes-operations, which includes the kubernetes-architect agent plus four specialised skills for production-grade configs.
- 3
Each plugin loads in isolation — installing kubernetes-operations only loads its agents, commands, and skills (progressive disclosure keeps token use down).
- 4
Invoke the agent directly or let Claude Code delegate when K8s architecture questions come up.
Example
You: /k8s-plan — 3 services, 50 RPS peak, single region. Claude: [produces Helm chart + service manifests + ingress + HPA with 2-5 replica range, cost-optimised]

Caveats
Production K8s is still its own discipline. Use this to accelerate, not replace, expertise.
