What problem does it solve? Getting first-time access to Ping's shared SE DevOps Kubernetes cluster (ping-dev-aws-us-east-2) and deploying demo or POC applications onto it involves scattered tribal knowledge: DEVHELP JIRA requests, Secret Server kubeconfigs, kubelogin OIDC authentication, GHCR token refreshes, and mandatory teardown discipline. This Skill consolidates that entire workflow into one operational guide. ## Core Features & Use Cases - First-time cluster access: Step-by-step instructions for requesting a namespace via DEVHELP JIRA, installing kubelogin/jwt-cli/kubectx, and installing a kubeconfig from Secret Server. - Deploy routine: Covers GHCR authentication refresh, image build/push, kubectl manifest application, and health verification. - Troubleshooting table: Maps common symptoms (missing context, GHCR push denied, OIDC timeouts, 503s after deploy) to concrete fixes. - Use Case: An SE finishes a local demo and needs to push it to the shared cluster before a customer call. The Skill walks them through context switching, GHCR login, deployment, verification, and the required undeploy afterward. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to help you deploy your app to the Ping SE shared cluster and it will verify your kubectl context, refresh GHCR credentials, apply your manifests, and remind you to undeploy when finished.
