14 sections, as written by the authorDeployment Strategies — Rollback, Risk, and Validation
For deployment strategy patterns (canary, blue-green, rolling, progressive delivery), see cicd-and-deployment skill. This skill focuses on operational concerns: validation, rollback, risk, and post-deployment.
Pre-Deployment Validation
Before any deployment, validate:
- Deployment scripts tested in staging | Database migrations tested with rollback scripts
- Configuration management consistent across environments | Health checks and service discovery configured
- Monitoring and alerting systems prepared | Backup and disaster recovery procedures validated
Rollback Procedures
Design Rollback First
Every deployment plan starts with the rollback section:
- Database rollback: migration revert scripts tested and verified
- Application rollback: previous version tagged and deployable
- Configuration rollback: previous config snapshots available
- Traffic rollback: load balancer / feature flag kill switch ready
- Data rollback: data consistency plan for partial rollback scenarios
Automated Rollback Triggers
Configure automatic rollback when:
- Error rate exceeds baseline by >2x | P95 latency exceeds SLA threshold
- Health check failures exceed threshold (e.g., 3 consecutive) | Business metric anomaly detected (e.g., conversion drop >10%)
Manual Rollback Decision Criteria
Stakeholder-reported functional issues | Security vulnerability discovered post-deploy | Data integrity concerns | Performance degradation below acceptable levels.
Risk Assessment
Technical Risks
Integration failure with downstream services | Performance degradation under production load | Data migration integrity issues | Security vulnerabilities introduced.
Business Risks
User adoption challenges | Business process disruption | Stakeholder expectation misalignment.
Operational Risks
Infrastructure capacity limitations | Third-party dependency failures | Team availability for incident response.
Risk Mitigation Checklist
- [ ] Rollback procedure designed and tested
- [ ] Monitoring dashboards configured for deployment
- [ ] On-call team notified of deployment window
- [ ] Feature flags configured for gradual rollout
- [ ] Communication plan for stakeholders prepared
- [ ] Incident response runbook updated
Post-Deployment Validation
Production Smoke Tests
Critical user paths validated | Integration points tested with real external systems | Performance validated under production load | Security controls verified | Data integrity confirmed.
Monitoring Validation
Application performance metrics collecting | Error tracking and alerting active | Business metric dashboards updated | Infrastructure monitoring nominal.

Assess Kubernetes workloads and cluster configuration for AKS Automatic compatibility. Identifies incompatibilities, generates fixes, and guides migration from AKS Standard to AKS Automatic. WHEN: migrate to AKS Automatic, check AKS Automatic readiness, validate manifests for Automatic, assess cluster for Automatic compatibility, fix deployment for Automatic compatibility, identify AKS Automatic migration blockers, is my cluster ready for AKS Automatic.
Discovers available Azure OpenAI model capacity across regions and projects. Analyzes quota limits, compares availability, and recommends optimal deployment locations based on capacity requirements. USE FOR: find capacity, check quota, where can I deploy, capacity discovery, best region for capacity, multi-project capacity search, quota analysis, model availability, region comparison, check TPM availability. DO NOT USE FOR: actual deployment (hand off to preset or customize after discovery), quota increase requests (direct user to Azure Portal), listing existing deployments.
Interactive guided deployment flow for Azure OpenAI models with full customization control. Step-by-step selection of model version, SKU (GlobalStandard/Standard/ProvisionedManaged), capacity, RAI policy (content filter), and advanced options (dynamic quota, priority processing, spillover). USE FOR: custom deployment, customize model deployment, choose version, select SKU, set capacity, configure content filter, RAI policy, deployment options, detailed deployment, advanced deployment, PTU deployment, provisioned throughput. DO NOT USE FOR: quick deployment to optimal region (use preset).
Unified Azure OpenAI model deployment skill with intelligent intent-based routing. Handles quick preset deployments, fully customized deployments (version/SKU/capacity/RAI policy), and capacity discovery across regions and projects. USE FOR: deploy model, deploy gpt, create deployment, model deployment, deploy openai model, set up model, provision model, find capacity, check model availability, where can I deploy, best region for model, capacity analysis. DO NOT USE FOR: listing existing deployments (use foundry_models_deployments_list MCP tool), deleting deployments, agent creation (use agent/create), project creation (use project/create).
Intelligently deploys Azure OpenAI models to optimal regions by analyzing capacity across all available regions. Automatically checks current region first and shows alternatives if needed. USE FOR: quick deployment, optimal region, best region, automatic region selection, fast setup, multi-region capacity check, high availability deployment, deploy to best location. DO NOT USE FOR: custom SKU selection (use customize), specific version selection (use customize), custom capacity configuration (use customize), PTU deployments (use customize).
This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.
Latch platform for bioinformatics workflows. Build pipelines with Latch SDK, @workflow/@task decorators, deploy serverless workflows, LatchFile/LatchDir, Nextflow/Snakemake integration.
Run Python code in the cloud with serverless containers, GPUs, and autoscaling. Use when deploying ML models, running batch processing jobs, scheduling compute-intensive tasks, or serving APIs that require GPU acceleration or dynamic scaling.
