DevOps Standards

⚠️ MAINTENANCE: This file is indexed in dev-team/skills/shared-patterns/standards-coverage-table.md. When adding/removing ## sections, follow FOUR-FILE UPDATE RULE in CLAUDE.md: (1) edit standards file, (2) update TOC, (3) update standards-coverage-table.md, (4) update agent file.

This file defines the specific standards for DevOps, SRE, and infrastructure.

Reference: Always consult docs/PROJECT_RULES.md for common project standards.

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform (Preferred)

Project Structure

/terraform
  /modules
    /vpc
      main.tf
      variables.tf
      outputs.tf
    /eks
    /rds
  /environments
    /dev
      main.tf
      terraform.tfvars
    /staging
    /prod
  backend.tf
  providers.tf
  versions.tf

State Management

# backend.tf
terraform {
  backend "s3" {
    bucket         = "company-terraform-state"
    key            = "env/prod/terraform.tfstate"
    region         = "us-east-1"
    encrypt        = true
    dynamodb_table = "terraform-locks"
  }
}

Module Pattern

# modules/eks/main.tf
module "eks" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws"
  version = "~> 19.0"

  cluster_name    = var.cluster_name
  cluster_version = var.kubernetes_version

  vpc_id     = var.vpc_id
  subnet_ids = var.subnet_ids

  eks_managed_node_groups = {
    default = {
      min_size     = var.min_nodes
      max_size     = var.max_nodes
      desired_size = var.desired_nodes

      instance_types = var.instance_types
      capacity_type  = "ON_DEMAND"
    }
  }

  tags = var.tags
}

# modules/eks/variables.tf
variable "cluster_name" {
  type        = string
  description = "Name of the EKS cluster"
}

variable "kubernetes_version" {
  type        = string
  default     = "1.28"
  description = "Kubernetes version"
}

# modules/eks/outputs.tf
output "cluster_endpoint" {
  value = module.eks.cluster_endpoint
}

output "cluster_name" {
  value = module.eks.cluster_name
}

Best Practices

# Always use version constraints
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.5.0"

  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.0"
    }
  }
}

# Use data sources for existing resources
data "aws_caller_identity" "current" {}
data "aws_region" "current" {}

# Use locals for computed values
locals {
  account_id = data.aws_caller_identity.current.account_id
  region     = data.aws_region.current.name
  name_prefix = "${var.project}-${var.environment}"
}

# Always tag resources
resource "aws_instance" "example" {
  # ...

  tags = merge(var.common_tags, {
    Name        = "${local.name_prefix}-instance"
    Environment = var.environment
    ManagedBy   = "terraform"
  })
}

Containers

Dockerfile Best Practices

# Multi-stage build for minimal images
FROM golang:1.22-alpine AS builder

WORKDIR /app

# Cache dependencies
COPY go.mod go.sum ./
RUN go mod download

# Build
COPY . .
RUN CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o /app/server ./cmd/api

# Production image
FROM gcr.io/distroless/static-debian12:nonroot

COPY --from=builder /app/server /server

USER nonroot:nonroot

EXPOSE 8080

ENTRYPOINT ["/server"]

Image Guidelines

Guideline	Reason
Use multi-stage builds	Smaller images
Use distroless/alpine	Minimal attack surface
Run as non-root	Security
Pin versions	Reproducibility
Use .dockerignore	Smaller context

Docker Compose (Local Dev)

MANDATORY: Use .env file for environment variables instead of inline definitions.

# docker-compose.yml
services:
  api:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    env_file:
      - .env
    depends_on:
      db:
        condition: service_healthy
      redis:
        condition: service_started

  db:
    image: postgres:15-alpine
    env_file:
      - .env
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U ${POSTGRES_USER} -d ${POSTGRES_DB}"]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5

  redis:
    image: redis:7-alpine
    volumes:
      - redis_data:/data

volumes:
  postgres_data:
  redis_data:

.env File Structure

# .env (add to .gitignore)

# Application
ENV_NAME=local
LOG_LEVEL=debug
SERVER_ADDRESS=:8080

# PostgreSQL
POSTGRES_USER=user
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass
POSTGRES_DB=app
DB_HOST=db
DB_PORT=5432

# Redis
REDIS_HOST=redis
REDIS_PORT=6379

# Telemetry
ENABLE_TELEMETRY=false

Guideline	Reason
Use env_file directive	Centralized configuration
Add .env to .gitignore	Prevent secrets in version control
Provide .env.example	Document required variables
Use consistent naming	Match application config struct

CI/CD Pipeline (MANDATORY)

This section covers CI/CD pipeline patterns and automation requirements.

CI Pipeline Stages (MANDATORY)

All services MUST have CI pipelines with these stages:

# .github/workflows/ci.yml
name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [main, develop]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main, develop]

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v5
        with:
          go-version: "1.24"
      - name: golangci-lint
        uses: golangci/golangci-lint-action@v4

  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-go@v5
        with:
          go-version: "1.24"
      - name: Run tests
        run: make test
      - name: Check coverage
        run: make cover

  security:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Run govulncheck
        run: go run golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck@latest ./...

  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [lint, test, security]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Build Docker image
        run: docker build -t ${{ github.repository }}:${{ github.sha }} .

Required CI Stages

Stage	Purpose	Failure Action
lint	Code quality	Block merge
test	Unit tests + coverage	Block merge
security	Vulnerability scan	Block merge
build	Docker image creation	Block merge
deploy (CD)	Environment deployment	Manual approval for prod

Branch Protection (REQUIRED)

# Settings → Branches → Branch protection rules → main

Required checks:
  - lint
  - test
  - security
  - build

Settings:
  - Require a pull request before merging: ✅
  - Require approvals: 1
  - Dismiss stale approvals: ✅
  - Require status checks to pass: ✅
  - Require branches to be up to date: ✅

Detection Commands

Anti-Rationalization Table

Rationalization	Why It's WRONG	Required Action
"Local tests are enough"	Local ≠ CI environment. CI catches env-specific issues.	Add CI pipeline
"Security scan is slow"	Slow scan > production vulnerability.	Include govulncheck
"We'll add CI later"	Later = technical debt. Start with CI.	Add CI on project creation
"Manual deployment is fine"	Manual = error-prone + no audit trail.	Automate deployments
