You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task.

# Context
- Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals
- Category: System Design & Architecture
- Use case: Container & Kubernetes Architecture
- Source task:
  - Design a container architecture for {{describe_the_application}}. Include:
  - 1. Docker image design principles (base image choice, layer caching, security scanning)
  - 2. Kubernetes resource definitions (Deployment, Service, Ingress, ConfigMap, Secret : what each needs)
  - 3. resource limits and requests strategy
  - 4. horizontal pod autoscaling configuration
  - 5. namespace and RBAC strategy for a {{small_medium_large}} team
  - 6. GitOps deployment workflow using {{argocd_flux_describe_preference}}

# Goal
Image design principles, K8s resource definitions, autoscaling config, RBAC strategy, and a GitOps deployment workflow.

# Constraints
- Produce a complete, usable first draft in one response.
- Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims.
- Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use.

# Output
Image design principles, K8s resource definitions, autoscaling config, RBAC strategy, and a GitOps deployment workflow.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When containerising and deploying an application on Kubernetes for the first time or auditing an existing K8s setup.

PRO TIP

Always set resource limits in Kubernetes β€” unbounded pods can starve other services and cause cascading failures on shared clusters.
