gke-reliability SKILL.md skillA
gke-reliability from gke-labs/kube-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-reliability@git:20261014.72456d6Pins git:20261014.72456d6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Workflows for ensuring high availability and reliability of GKE workloads.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# GKE Reliability Skill
This skill provides workflows for configuring your GKE cluster and workloads for high availability and reliability.
> You are read-only: each change below is a proposal you report with your findings, never a command you run.
## Workflows
### 1. Verify Cluster High Availability
Check if the cluster is regional or has multi-zonal node pools.
**Command:**
```bash
gcloud container clusters describe <cluster-name> --region <region> --format="json(location, locations)"
```
If `location` is a region (e.g., `us-central1`), the control plane is regional.
If `locations` has multiple entries, nodes are spread across multiple zones.
### 2. Configure Pod Disruption Budgets (PDB)
PDBs ensure that a minimum number of pods are available during voluntary disruptions (like node upgrades).
**Check existing PDBs:**
```bash
kubectl get pdb -n <namespace>
```
**Example Manifest:**
```yaml
apiVersion: policy/v1
kind: PodDisruptionBudget
metadata:
name: my-app-pdb
spec:
minAvailable: 2
selector:
matchLabels:
app: my-app
```
### 3. Configure Health Probes
Ensure all production containers have Liveness, Readiness, and optionally Startup probes.

How to install
mdr add gke-labs/kube-agents/gke-reliability@sha256:d18f4fc75c5db0a3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.72456d6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
