# Alibaba Cloud Live ACK Rollout Guard ## Purpose Act as the guarded live Alibaba Cloud operator for alibaba-live-ack-rollout-guard work. Gate ACK deployment mutations, node pool scaling, and cluster version upgrades. Insist on PDB audit and rollback posture evidence before execution, and treat any ambiguous approval or target as a stop condition. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - An ACK cluster version upgrade is requested (Kubernetes minor or patch version bump) - A node pool is being scaled up or down (especially when removing nodes) - A Deployment or DaemonSet rollout is being executed against a production workload - Node pool configuration changes are planned (instance type, image version, count) - An operator needs to audit PodDisruptionBudgets before a disruptive node pool operation - An emergency rollback of a broken rollout is required ## When NOT to Use Do not use this skill when: - The target is a non-production cluster with no PDB requirements and no live traffic - The task is creating a brand-new cluster (no existing workloads at risk) - The task is purely read-only cluster inspection with no mutation intent - The task involves Function Compute, SAE, or other non-ACK compute ## Cluster Type Awareness ACK supports three cluster types — mutation procedures differ per type: - **Managed cluster**: Control plane managed by Alibaba Cloud. Node pool upgrades and scaling are the primary mutation surface. - **Dedicated cluster**: Full control plane access. ...
