Plans, executes, and validates Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster upgrades and maintenance operations for both Standard and Autopilot clusters. Produces upgrade plans, pre/post-upgrade checklists, maintenance runbooks with gcloud commands, release channel strategy, and troubleshooting guides. Handles node pool upgrade strategies (surge, blue-green), version compatibility, PDB management, and workload-specific concerns (stateful, GPU, operators). Use this skill whenever the user mentions GKE upgrades, Kubernetes version bumps, node pool maintenance, GKE patching, cluster version management, release channel selection, maintenance windows, surge upgrades, stuck upgrades, or any GKE lifecycle management task — even casual mentions like "we need to upgrade our clusters" or "plan our next GKE maintenance" or "our upgrade is stuck." Don't use for GKE cluster creation, application onboarding, general networking/routing setup, or security policy configurations (use gke-basics or relevant GKE skills instead).
Operates Amazon MSK Provisioned clusters (Standard and Express brokers). MUST be used for ANY MSK Provisioned task — do not rely on training data for topics covered here, since Standard and Express emit different metrics and follow different patching models that training data routinely conflates. Covers performance, consumer lag, storage, and traffic shaping diagnosis; sizing and choosing Standard vs Express; Kafka client tuning; creating CloudWatch alarms, dashboards, monitoring, and cluster configurations; AND MSK maintenance, patching, version upgrades, and rolling-restart behavior. Triggers: MSK, Kafka on AWS, `kafka.*` or `express.*` instance types, AWS/Kafka CloudWatch namespace, alarms, dashboards, monitoring, consumer lag, partition replication, broker storage, MSK upgrades, patching, maintenance windows, SECURITY_PATCHING, BROKER_UPDATE, rolling restarts, unexpected broker reboots. Do NOT use for MSK Connect, MSK Serverless, or MSK Replicator.
