k8s/base/managing AGENTS

Role:

  • own management and operational Kubernetes base units
  • model bootstrap, migration, backup, restore, maintenance, and admin workloads as declarative Kustomize bases
  • keep operational workloads separate from long-running application serving workloads

Allowed:

  • Job / CronJob base resources for operational tasks
  • maintenance ServiceAccount / RBAC / ConfigMap / Secret reference wiring
  • backup / restore / migration helper workload shapes
  • admin-only service shapes when explicitly justified

Forbidden:

  • long-running product application workloads
  • environment-specific values that belong in k8s/overlays/<env>
  • scripts becoming the primary source of YAML truth
  • large heredoc-generated manifests as the default path
  • embedding production secret values
  • hiding environment differences in shell conditionals instead of overlays
  • giant all-in-one jobs that mix unrelated concerns

Rules:

  • management jobs are explicit operational units, not hidden app startup hooks
  • migrations must stay separate from app startup
  • backup and restore paths must be documented before risky stateful changes
  • destructive operations require explicit opt-in and runbook backing
  • operational workloads must still follow security, resource, secret, and namespace standards
