• Creates and manages production-grade Kubernetes clusters using CLI commands.
• Supports automated cluster provisioning, scaling, upgrades, and deletion.
• Uses infrastructure-as-code concepts for repeatable and consistent deployments.
• Integrates seamlessly with cloud services for networking, compute, and storage.
• Provides cluster validation and health checks via CLI.
• Supports secure authentication and access control for Kubernetes clusters.
