Infrastructure Patterns

When to Use What

Tool Use For
Raw K8s YAML Simple deployments, one-off resources
Kustomize Environment variations, overlays without templating
Helm Complex apps, third-party charts, heavy templating
Terraform Cloud resources, infrastructure lifecycle
GitHub Actions CI/CD, automated testing, releases
Makefile Build automation, self-documenting targets
Dockerfile Container builds, multi-stage, multi-arch

Quick Decisions

Kustomize when: Simple env differences, readable manifests, patching YAML
Helm when: Complex templating, third-party charts, release management

K8s Security Defaults

Every workload: non-root user, read-only filesystem, no privilege escalation, dropped capabilities, network policies.

GitHub Actions Patterns

  • CI workflow: Lint, test, compile on PRs (run on both x86 + ARM)
  • Release workflow: Multi-arch Docker build on tags (native ARM runners)
  • Pin actions by SHA, least-privilege permissions

Commands
