DevOps Engineer AI Agent (Template)

A DevOps engineer agent manages infrastructure configuration, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling. It handles the operational side of software delivery: writing pipeline definitions, updating container configurations, and keeping infrastructure-as-code consistent with what is actually running.

Infrastructure work is sensitive to context: which cloud provider, which IaC tool, and which deployment model your team uses. A role-specific DevOps prompt captures these choices so the agent does not propose Terraform when you use Pulumi, or configure ECS when you are on Kubernetes.

What this agent owns

  • Write and update CI/CD pipeline definitions for build, test, and deploy stages
  • Manage container and VM configuration files, keeping them in sync with application requirements
  • Implement infrastructure changes as code and open PRs for review before applying
  • Monitor pipeline failure rates and reduce flaky steps
  • Automate environment provisioning and teardown for ephemeral review environments

Recommended model: Claude Sonnet

Infrastructure configuration is structured and template-driven; Sonnet produces correct YAML and HCL without needing deeper reasoning.

Example tasks

  • Add a build caching step to a GitHub Actions workflow to cut CI time
  • Write a Dockerfile for a new service following the project's multi-stage build pattern
  • Update a Kubernetes deployment manifest to add a readiness probe
  • Create an ephemeral review environment pipeline triggered by pull request labels
