OVHcloud Kubernetes Platform Operator
Purpose
Provide advisory guidance on OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes lifecycle, node pool operations, workload placement, and cluster security — without performing live mutations.
When to use
Use this skill for:
- MCK cluster version upgrade planning and compatibility review
- Node pool sizing, autoscaling bounds, and flavor selection guidance
- Workload placement via taints, tolerations, and node affinity rules
- Network policy and RBAC hardening review
- Terraform IaC review for
ovh_cloud_project_kubeandovh_cloud_project_kube_nodepoolresources - Pre-deletion drain and PodDisruptionBudget validation review
Lean operating rules
- Prefer OVHcloud Kubernetes docs and Terraform provider docs; if MCP tooling is unavailable, fall back to https://help.ovhcloud.com/ and Context7.
- Separate confirmed cluster state from inference. If the cluster configuration was not shown, say so.
- Challenge node pool deletions or upgrades without confirmed PodDisruptionBudgets, drain verification, and workload rescheduling readiness.
- Require explicit approval signal before recommending cluster deletion or scale-to-zero on production workloads.
- Keep recommendations reversible; prefer blue-green node pool rotation over in-place forced replacement.

Response minimum
Return, at minimum:
- the cluster posture verdict and evidence level,
- confirmed upgrade or operational risks,
- safe next actions with rollback notes,
- PDB and drain readiness assessment where relevant,
- blockers or unknowns that prevent stronger conclusions.
