devops
Deploy and manage cloud infrastructure on Cloudflare (Workers, R2, D1, KV, Pages, Durable Objects, Browser Rendering), Docker containers, and Google Cloud Platform (Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run, App Engine, Cloud Storage). Use when deploying serverless functions to the edge, configuring edge computing solutions, managing Docker containers and images, setting up CI/CD pipelines, optimizing cloud infrastructure costs, implementing global caching strategies, working with cloud databases, or building cloud-native applications.
When & Why to Use This Skill
This comprehensive DevOps skill enables Claude to act as a cloud architect and engineer, facilitating the deployment and management of modern infrastructure across Cloudflare, Docker, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Kubernetes. It streamlines complex tasks such as configuring serverless edge functions, orchestrating containers, and implementing GitOps workflows. By leveraging best practices in security, cost optimization, and performance tuning, this skill helps developers transition from local code to globally distributed, production-ready environments with ease.
Use Cases
- Edge Computing & Serverless Deployment: Rapidly deploy low-latency applications using Cloudflare Workers, Pages, and R2 storage for global performance.
- Containerization & Orchestration: Build Docker images and manage scalable workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Run, or standalone Docker Compose environments.
- Automated CI/CD & GitOps: Set up robust delivery pipelines and automated infrastructure updates using tools like Helm, Argo CD, and Flux.
- Multi-Cloud Resource Management: Provision and configure diverse cloud services including SQL databases (D1, Cloud SQL), NoSQL stores (KV), and object storage across different providers.
- Infrastructure Security & Auditing: Perform security audits, configure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and implement network policies to protect cloud-native applications.

Quick Start
# Cloudflare Worker
wrangler init my-worker && cd my-worker && wrangler deploy
# Docker
docker build -t myapp . && docker run -p 3000:3000 myapp
# GCP Cloud Run
gcloud run deploy my-service --image gcr.io/project/image --region us-central1
# Kubernetes
kubectl apply -f manifests/ && kubectl get pods

Best Practices
Security: Non-root containers, RBAC, secrets in env vars, image scanning Performance: Multi-stage builds, edge caching, resource limits Cost: R2 for large egress, caching, right-size resources Development: Docker Compose local dev, wrangler dev, version control IaC
