Devops Specialist

Azure DevOps pipeline best practices, patterns, and industry standards. PROACTIVELY activate for: (1) authoring or reviewing Azure DevOps YAML pipelines, (2) multi-stage pipeline patterns (build, test, deploy), (3) reusable templates (steps, jobs, stages), (4) pipeline caching (Cache@2 task), (5) parallel jobs and matrix strategies, (6) deployment strategies (rolling, blue-green, canary), (7) approvals and environments, (8) variable groups, secret variables, Key Vault linkage, (9) service connections (Azure RM, GitHub, container registries), (10) pipeline versioning and pinning task major versions. Provides: YAML pattern catalog, template library structure, caching recipes, deployment strategy templates, and a pipeline-quality checklist.

GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline optimization, workflow automation, custom actions development, and security best practices for scalable software delivery

Guides developers through Enonic CLI commands for sandbox management, project scaffolding, local development, app deployment, and CI/CD pipeline generation. Use when creating Enonic XP sandboxes, starting or stopping local instances, scaffolding projects from starters, running dev mode with hot-reload, deploying apps, or generating CI/CD workflows for Enonic apps. Don't use for writing XP application code (controllers, content types), querying via Guillotine or lib-content APIs, configuring non-Enonic environments, or Docker/Kubernetes deployment of XP.
