AI Prompts for ChatGPT for DevOps

I need to set up a CI/CD pipeline for a [DESCRIBE STACK, E.G. "NEXT.JS APP DEPLOYED TO VERCEL"] using [GITHUB ACTIONS/GITLAB CI/OTHER]. Write the workflow file that runs lint, type check, tests, and deploys on merge to main.

My pipeline takes [N] minutes. Here is the current workflow: [PASTE WORKFLOW]. Identify bottlenecks, add caching for dependencies and build artifacts, and parallelize jobs where possible.

Write a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests against a matrix of [NODE VERSIONS / OS / OTHER]. Handle failures properly and report results in the PR.

I need a deployment pipeline that deploys to staging on every PR merge and to production only on manual approval. Write the workflow with environment protection rules and Slack notifications.

Set up a Docker build pipeline that builds a multi-stage image for [DESCRIBE APP], pushes to [ECR/DOCKER HUB/GHCR], and uses layer caching to minimize build time.

Write a Terraform configuration to provision [DESCRIBE INFRASTRUCTURE, E.G. "AN ECS CLUSTER WITH ALB, RDS, AND ELASTICACHE"]. Use modules, separate variables for environment-specific values, and add outputs for key resource IDs.

I need to write a Docker Compose setup for local development of [DESCRIBE APP WITH ITS DEPENDENCIES]. Include services for the app, database, cache, and any other dependencies, with volume mounts and environment variables.

Convert this manual AWS setup to CloudFormation or Terraform: [DESCRIBE RESOURCES]. Define all resources, use parameters for configurable values, and add proper IAM roles with least-privilege permissions.

Write a Kubernetes manifest for [DESCRIBE SERVICE]. Include Deployment, Service, ConfigMap, and HorizontalPodAutoscaler. Set resource requests and limits based on [DESCRIBE EXPECTED LOAD].

I need to set up monitoring for this infrastructure: [DESCRIBE STACK]. Write the CloudWatch alarms or Prometheus alert rules for CPU, memory, error rate, and latency, with runbook links in the annotations.

Write a bash script that [DESCRIBE AUTOMATION TASK, E.G. "ROTATES DATABASE PASSWORDS, UPDATES SECRETS MANAGER, AND RESTARTS AFFECTED SERVICES"]. Include error handling, logging, and a dry-run mode.

I need to automate database migrations in my deploy pipeline. Write the script that runs migrations with a timeout, rolls back on failure, and sends a notification with the migration log.

Write a script to clean up [DESCRIBE CLOUD RESOURCES, E.G. "STALE ECR IMAGES OLDER THAN 30 DAYS OR UNTAGGED"]. It should preview what will be deleted before asking for confirmation.

Create an on-call runbook as a shell script for [DESCRIBE INCIDENT, E.G. "HIGH DATABASE CPU"]. It should check key metrics, collect diagnostics, and output a summary to help the on-call engineer triage quickly.

I need to manage environment variables across [N] environments. Write a script that reads from a central store ([SECRETS MANAGER/VAULT/OTHER]), validates required keys exist, and syncs them to the deployment platform.

My deployment failed with this error: [PASTE ERROR LOG]. Walk me through diagnosing this step by step, what each error message means, and the most likely root causes in order of probability.

My service has high latency spikes every [N] hours. Here are the relevant metrics: [DESCRIBE METRICS]. Suggest the most likely causes, what additional data to collect, and how to isolate the root cause.

Write a post-incident review template for [DESCRIBE INCIDENT]. Include timeline, root cause analysis, contributing factors, impact, immediate fixes, and long-term prevention tasks.

I need to roll back this deployment quickly: [DESCRIBE DEPLOYMENT]. Write the exact commands to execute the rollback, verify the rollback succeeded, and communicate status to stakeholders.

Help me set up distributed tracing for [DESCRIBE MICROSERVICES ARCHITECTURE]. Recommend the tooling, show how to instrument the services, and explain how to trace a slow request across service boundaries.
