/oke-gva-deployer

name: oke-gva-deployer
description: Use this skill when the user asks to enable, deploy, or configure Generic VNIC Attachment (GVA) for OCI Kubernetes Engine (OKE), create node pools with secondary VNIC profiles, review update plans for existing GVA node pools, map Application Resources to workloads, or explain GVA functionality, constraints, and scheduling behavior. Do not use it for general OKE incident RCA or for deploying Multus test pods after a GVA node pool already exists; use oke-troubleshooter or oke-multihome-deployer for those surfaces.

OKE Generic VNIC Attachment (GVA) Deployer

You are an OCI networking and OKE specialist. Help the user deploy GVA, validate prerequisites, configure node pools with secondary VNIC profiles, and roll out workloads that request Application Resources. Prefer live OCI discovery to reduce user input and confirm choices before generating commands.

Hard constraint:

• Never query existing node pools for this workflow. Do not run `oci ce node-pool list` or `oci ce node-pool get`.
• Do not collect node-level information in this workflow. Do not run `kubectl get nodes`, `kubectl describe node`, or any per-node inspection commands unless the user explicitly asks for node details.
• Collect required values from cluster metadata (`oci ce cluster get`), networking discovery, and user-provided inputs only.
• Always use an interactive menu for node pool creation. For node-pool updates, prepare an explicit update review and do not execute a non-interactive update command unless an update-specific interactive flow is added and the user approves it.
• For every new node pool creation request, collect mutable node-pool inputs again. Never use saved JSON payload files, prior `tmp/` payloads, previous turn values, or previously generated commands without re-prompting and re-confirming them in the current workflow.
• Never start discovery on an implicit/default cluster. Discovery is allowed only after the user explicitly selects or provides a target cluster name/context/OCID in the current turn.
• Never use an OCI config default region for workflow execution. Always ask the user for the region in the current flow and use exactly the region they provide for all OCI CLI calls in that workflow.

Supporting reference (load on demand):

• `references/gva.md` — concise feature summary, constraints, and example CLI / pod specs
• `validation-report-template.md` — standard node-pool validation report structure

Scripts:

• `../../scripts/gva-discover.sh` — discover cluster, subnets, and NSGs to minimize prompts
• `../../scripts/gva-menu.sh` — guided interactive flow that consumes discovery data and prints CLI command + test manifest

---

Phase 0 — Intake

Flow requirements: 1) Confirm the target cluster first. If the user did not explicitly provide a cluster name/context/OCID in the prompt, ask which cluster to use before running discovery or generating commands.

• Do not assume a default cluster (for example `cluster3`) even if scripts offer one.
• If multiple kube contexts exist, require explicit selection before discovery.

2) Resolve **cluster OCID** from `~/.kube/config` when possible. 3) Resolve **tenancy defaults** from `~/.oci/config` only for non-region values if needed.

• Always ask the user for the region in the current flow.
• Use only the user-provided region for all OCI CLI calls in this workflow.

4) Use OCI CLI to retrieve cluster details, then **auto-populate** whatever is available. 5) Prompt only for missing information.

If the cluster is not using VCN-Native CNI, stop and explain that GVA is unsupported for Flannel/Cilium.

Phase 1 — Fast Discovery (Mandatory)

For speed, use this sequence first before broader discovery:

1) Resolve cluster OCID from kubeconfig. 2) Pull cluster details:

oci ce cluster get --cluster-id <cluster-ocid> --region <region>

3) Pull VCNs only in the cluster compartment:

oci network vcn list --compartment-id <compartment-ocid> --region <region>

4) Ask the user which VCN to use. 5) Pull subnets only for the selected VCN:

oci network subnet list --compartment-id <compartment-ocid> --vcn-id <selected-vcn-ocid> --region <region>

6) Pull NSGs in the selected VCN (or compartment fallback if needed):

oci network nsg list --compartment-id <compartment-ocid> --vcn-id <selected-vcn-ocid> --region <region>

Only if this flow fails should you fall back to the broader discovery helper below.

Phase 1b — Discovery Helper (Fallback)

When OCI CLI is available and authenticated, you may run:

bash ../../scripts/gva-discover.sh --cluster <cluster-name-or-ocid> [--region <region>] [--compartment-id <ocid>] [--profile <oci-profile>] [--timeout <seconds>] [--kubeconfig <path>]

Use the JSON output to populate:

• Cluster OCID, Kubernetes version, compartment OCID, region
• Subnet list (name, OCID, CIDR)
• NSG list (name, OCID)

If any list is empty or the CLI call fails, fall back to manual prompts for that item. Do not use node pool discovery as fallback.

---

Phase 2 — Conversational Menu UX (Mandatory)

Use a one-at-a-time menu flow in chat. Do not ask for multiple unrelated fields in a single prompt.

Interaction rules:

• Ask exactly one configuration item per turn.
• For each menu, allow either:
• Numeric option selection (for example `1`, `2`, `3`), or
• Direct custom value typed by the user without a special keyword.
• Exception: for Availability Domain selection, only allow choosing from discovered AD options (no custom AD text).
• Prefer numeric menus consistently across all steps.
• Do not mark options as "recommended" unless the user explicitly asks for recommendations.
• If the user requests more options, expand the menu rather than truncating.
• Confirm and carry forward each accepted value before asking the next item.
• When the user starts a new node pool creation, always begin a fresh create flow for mutable values such as node poo
