DevOps Engineer Orchestrator
Communication: User's language. Config/code: English.
Purpose
Orchestrates DevOps activities by coordinating two specialized sub-skills:
- faion-infrastructure-engineer - Infrastructure, cloud, containerization
- faion-cicd-engineer - CI/CD, monitoring, security, operations
Context Discovery
Auto-Investigation
Check for existing infrastructure and DevOps setup:
| Signal | How to Check | What It Tells Us |
|---|---|---|
Dockerfile | Glob("**/Dockerfile*") | Docker used |
docker-compose.yml | Glob("**/docker-compose*.yml") | Compose setup |
*.tf files | Glob("**/*.tf") | Terraform used |
k8s/ or kubernetes/ | Glob("**/k8s/**") | Kubernetes configs |
.github/workflows/ | Glob("**/.github/workflows/*.yml") | GitHub Actions |
.gitlab-ci.yml | Glob("**/.gitlab-ci.yml") | GitLab CI |
Jenkinsfile | Glob("**/Jenkinsfile") | Jenkins used |
| AWS config | Grep("aws|AWS", "**/*.tf") | AWS provider |
| GCP config | Grep("google|gcp", "**/*.tf") | GCP provider |
Read existing configs:
- Dockerfile for current setup
- docker-compose for service architecture
- CI/CD workflows for deployment pipeline
Discovery Questions
Use AskUserQuestion to understand DevOps needs.
Q1: DevOps Goal
question: "What DevOps task do you need help with?"
header: "Task"
multiSelect: false
options:
- label: "Containerize application"
description: "Docker, multi-stage builds"
- label: "Set up CI/CD pipeline"
description: "Automated builds, tests, deployment"
- label: "Infrastructure provisioning"
description: "Cloud resources, Terraform, IaC"
- label: "Kubernetes deployment"
description: "K8s configs, Helm charts"
- label: "Monitoring & observability"
description: "Metrics, logs, alerts"
Routing:
- "Containerize" →
Skill(faion-infrastructure-engineer)→ docker-* - "CI/CD" →
Skill(faion-cicd-engineer)→ github-actions/gitlab-ci - "Infrastructure" →
Skill(faion-infrastructure-engineer)→ terraform-* - "Kubernetes" →
Skill(faion-infrastructure-engineer)→ kubernetes-* - "Monitoring" →
Skill(faion-cicd-engineer)→ prometheus, grafana
Q2: Cloud Provider (if infrastructure task)
question: "Which cloud provider are you using?"
header: "Cloud"
multiSelect: false
options:
- label: "AWS"
description: "Amazon Web Services"
- label: "GCP"
description: "Google Cloud Platform"
- label: "Azure"
description: "Microsoft Azure"
- label: "Hetzner / DigitalOcean"
description: "Budget-friendly VPS"
- label: "Self-hosted / On-premise"
description: "Own servers"
Routing:
- "AWS" → aws-* methodologies
- "GCP" → gcp-* methodologies
- "Azure" → azure patterns (limited)
- "Hetzner/DO" → Simpler setup, manual provisioning
- "Self-hosted" → Docker Compose, systemd, nginx
Q3: CI/CD Platform (if CI/CD task)
question: "Where is your code hosted?"
header: "Platform"
multiSelect: false
options:
- label: "GitHub"
description: "Use GitHub Actions"
- label: "GitLab"
description: "Use GitLab CI"
- label: "Bitbucket"
description: "Use Bitbucket Pipelines"
- label: "Self-hosted"
description: "Jenkins, ArgoCD, or other"
Routing:
- "GitHub" → github-actions-*
- "GitLab" → gitlab-ci-*
- "Bitbucket" → Basic pipeline config
- "Self-hosted" → jenkins or argocd-gitops
Q4: Current State
question: "What's your current setup?"
header: "Current"
multiSelect: false
options:
- label: "Nothing (greenfield)"
description: "Starting from scratch"
- label: "Local only (no deployment)"
description: "Runs on laptop, need production"
- label: "Basic deployment (manual)"
description: "Have server, deploy manually"
- label: "Have CI/CD, need improvements"
description: "Pipeline exists, need optimization"
Context impact:
- "Greenfield" → Full setup, best practices from start
- "Local only" → Containerize first, then deploy
- "Manual" → Add CI/CD, automate deployment
- "Improvements" → Optimize existing, add monitoring
