Doca Container Deployment

Use this skill when the user is hands-on deploying an in-bundle DOCA service container (Argus, DMS, Firefly, or UROM service) on a BlueField — kubelet standalone watching a static-pod manifests directory, YAML pod-spec drop, kubelet status / ENTRYPOINT logs / per-service liveness, smoke-before-bulk, and the layered error taxonomy (pod-spec, scheduling, image pull, runtime, mount, network, version, host). Trigger even when the user does not say "container deployment" — typical implicit phrasings include "how do I run my built service on the BlueField?", "where do I drop the pod-spec YAML?", "pod stuck in Pending / ImagePullBackOff / CrashLoopBackOff", "container Running but service isn't ready", "pod restart-loops after edit", or "DMS and Firefly together". Refuse and route elsewhere for per-service config schemas, DOCA install, library-API questions, external NVIDIA services (BlueMan, HBN, SNAP, Virtio-net), or full Kubernetes-cluster ops — those belong to other skills.

Overview

What It Does

Doca Container Deployment packages a focused media & files workflow for an AI agent. Use this skill when the user is hands-on deploying an in-bundle DOCA service container (Argus, DMS, Firefly, or UROM service) on a BlueField — kubelet standalone watching a static-pod manifests directory, YAML pod-spec drop, kubelet status / ENTRYPOINT logs / per-service liveness, smoke-before-bulk, and the layered error taxonomy (pod-spec, scheduling, image pull, runtime, mount, network, version, host). Trigger even when the user does not say "container deployment" — typical implicit phrasings include "how do I run my built service on the BlueField?", "where do I drop the pod-spec YAML?", "pod stuck in Pending / ImagePullBackOff / CrashLoopBackOff", "container Running but service isn't ready", "pod restart-loops after edit", or "DMS and Firefly together". Refuse and route elsewhere for per-service config schemas, DOCA install, library-API questions, external NVIDIA services (BlueMan, HBN, SNAP, Virtio-net), or full Kubernetes-cluster ops — those belong to other skills. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
