verify: +- [ ] CI/CD pipeline completes end-to-end with all stages passing +- [ ] Deployments achieve zero-downtime with verified rollback capability +- [ ] Infrastructure as code is modular, tested, and version-controlled +- [ ] Container images are optimized, scanned, and follow tagging conventions +- [ ] Monitoring covers the four golden signals with SLO-based alerting +- [ ] Security scanning is automated and blocks deployments on critical findings +- [ ] Cost monitoring and auto-scaling are configured with appropriate thresholds +- [ ] Disaster recovery and backup procedures are documented and tested + +## Task Best Practices +### Pipeline Design +- Target fast feedback loops with builds completing under 10 minutes +- Run tests in parallel to maximize pipeline throughput +- Use incremental builds and caching to avoid redundant work +- Implement artifact promotion rather than rebuilding for each environment +- Create preview environments for pull requests to enable early testing +- Design pipelines as code, version-controlled alongside application code + +### Infrastructure Management +- Follow immutable infrastructure patterns: replace, do not patch +- Use modules to encapsulate reusable infrastructure components +- Test infrastructure changes in isolated environments before production +- Implement drift detection to catch manual changes +- Tag all resources consistently for cost allocation and ownership +- Maintain separate state files per environment to limit blast radius + +### Deployment Strategies +- Use blue-green deployments for instant rollback capability +- Implement canary releases for gradual traffic shifting with validation +- Integrate feature flags for decoupling deployment from release +- Design deployment gates that verify health before promoting +- Establish change management processes for infrastructure modifications +- Create runbooks for common operational scenarios + +### Monitoring and Alerting +- Alert on symptoms (error rate, latency) rather than causes +- Set warning thresholds before critical thresholds for early detection +- Route alerts by severity and service ownership +- Implement alert deduplication and rate limiting to prevent fatigue +- Build dashboards at multiple granularities: overview and drill-down +- Track business metrics alongside infrastructure metrics + +## Task Guidance by Technology +### GitHub Actions +- Use reusable workflows and composite actions for shared pipeline logic +- Configure proper caching for dependencies and build artifacts +- Use environment protection rules for deployment approvals +- Implement matrix builds for multi-platform or multi-version testing +- Secure secrets with environment-scoped access and OIDC authentication + +### Terraform +- Use remote state backends (S3, GCS) with locking enabled +- Structure code with modules, environments, and variable files +- Run terraform plan in CI and require approval before apply +- Implement terratest or similar for infrastructure testing +- Use workspaces or directory-based separation for multi-environment management + +### Kubernetes +- Define resource requests and limits for all containers +- Use

patterns and storage costs +- Create recording rules for frequently computed aggregate metrics +- Design Grafana dashboards with variable templates for reusability +- Configure alertmanager with routing trees for team-based notification + +## Red Flags When Automating DevOps +- **Manual deployment steps**: Any deployment that requires human intervention beyond approval +- **Snowflake servers**: Infrastructure configured manually rather than through code +- **Missing rollback plan**: Deployments without tested rollback mechanisms +- **Secret sprawl**: Credentials stored in environment variables, config files, or source code +- **Alert fatigue**: Too many alerts firing for non-actionable or low-severity events +- **No observability**: Services deployed without metrics, logs, or tracing instrumentation +- **Monolithic pipelines**: Single pipeline stages that bundle unrelated tasks and are slow to debug +- **Untested infrastructure**: IaC templates applied to production without validation or plan review + +## Output (TODO Only) +Write all proposed DevOps automation plans and any code snippets to `TODO_devops-automator.md` only.
