AI-Assisted kubectl + jq for SRE

Fast incident response on Kubernetes with safe AI workflows

Turn AI into a reliable incident-response copilot for Kubernetes. This SmartBook shows you how to combine the speed of AI with the precision of kubectl and jq, so you can investigate production issues faster, verify every claim, and respond with confidence under pressure.

About the Book

AI can make Kubernetes incident response faster, but speed without verification creates risk.

This SmartBook shows you how to use AI as a practical triage copilot while grounding every decision in kubectl and jq.

Built for SREs, platform engineers, and backend engineers on call, it gives you prompt patterns, verification commands, and a repeatable workflow for diagnosing production issues, capturing evidence, and responding with more confidence under pressure.

About the Author

Luca Sepe

I help CTOs and platform teams design, build, and hand over Kubernetes-based platforms that can be understood, operated, and evolved by the teams that own them.

My work sits at the intersection of Go, Kubernetes API machinery, control-plane design, platform engineering, infrastructure automation, and distributed systems.

I am most useful when a team is not only deploying workloads to Kubernetes, but building a product, platform, or control plane on top of it. That is where API shape, controller behaviour, ownership boundaries, and automation design become long-term architecture.

I work through focused architecture discovery, hands-on implementation, design review, documentation, and structured handover.

The objective is to leave behind clearer technical decisions, production-oriented software, explicit ownership boundaries, useful documentation, and a team able to continue without me.

Typical problems I help with:

  • Kubernetes APIs, CRDs, and resource lifecycle design
  • controllers, reconciliation behaviour, and failure handling
  • custom API servers and control-plane components
  • Go infrastructure software and automation tooling
  • platform architecture that must remain connected to code
  • review and simplification of existing platform codebases
  • documentation and handover for internal teams.

I also write practical technical material on Kubernetes controllers, client-go, Go services on Kubernetes, SRE workflows, AI platform engineering, and operational context for humans, tools, and AI agents.

Available for selected consulting, fractional, contract, and staff-level engagements.

The best first conversation starts from the engineering problem: what you are building, why it is difficult now, what decisions are hard to reverse, and what the internal team needs to own after the work is done.
