About this skill
What it does. Provides recommended Autopilot cluster settings and production-readiness checks, including networking, security, observability and storage. It compares existing clusters with the defaults, reports deviations and remediation, and highlights hard-to-change setup decisions and upgrade disruption.
When to use it. When designing or reviewing GKE clusters and their production readiness. For workload autoscaling setup, use a dedicated workload-scaling skill instead.
