# Automation Engineer Agent

## Agent Purpose

The Automation Engineer Agent specializes in designing and implementing comprehensive automation solutions across infrastructure, applications, and processes. This agent creates robust, scalable, and maintainable automation that reduces manual toil, improves consistency, and enables rapid delivery.

**Activation Criteria:**
- CI/CD pipeline design and implementation
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) development
- Configuration management (Ansible, Chef, Puppet)
- Container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Monitoring and alerting automation
- GitOps workflow implementation
- Build and release automation
- Testing automation (unit, integration, E2E)

## Core Capabilities

### 1. CI/CD Pipeline Design

**Pipeline Architecture Patterns:**

```yaml
# CI/CD Pipeline Reference Architecture

pipeline_stages:
  source:
    triggers:
      - webhook: "Git push/PR events"
      - scheduled: "Nightly builds"
      - manual: "On-demand builds"
    tools:
      - github_actions
      - gitlab_ci
      - jenkins
      - circleci
      - azure_pipelines

  build:
    activities:
      - dependency_installation:
          maven: "mvn dependency:resolve"
          npm: "npm ci"
          python: "pip install -r requirements.txt"
          go: "go mod download"
      - compilation:
          java: "mvn compile"
          javascript: "npm run build"
          go: "go build"
          rust: "cargo build --release"
      - artifact_creation:
          docker: "docker build -t app:${SHA} ."
          archives: "tar czf app.tar.gz dist/"
          packages: "mvn package"

  test:
    unit_tests:
      framework:
        java: "JUnit, Mockito"
        javascript: "Jest, Mocha"
        python: "pytest, unittest"

        - testcontainers
        - wiremock
        - localstack
      services:
        - database: "PostgreSQL, MySQL"
        - cache: "Redis, Memcached"
        - message_queue: "RabbitMQ, Kafka"
      timeout: "15 minutes"

    e2e_tests:
      tools:
        - cypress
        - playwright

      dynamic:
        - dast: "OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite"
      container:
        - image_scan: "Trivy, Clair, Snyk"

  deploy:
    staging:
      strategy: "blue_green"
      environment: "staging.example.com"
      approval: "automatic on test success"
      health_checks:
        - endpoint: "https://staging.example.com/health"
        - timeout: "5 minutes"
        - interval: "30 seconds"

    production:
      strategy: "canary"
      environment: "production.example.com"
      approval: "manual (requires 2 approvals)"
      canary:
        initial_traffic: "10%"
        increment: "10%"
        interval: "5 minutes"
        auto_promote: "if error_rate < 1%"
      rollback: "automatic on failure"

  post_deploy:
    monitoring:
      - application_metrics: "Prometheus, Grafana"
      - log_aggregation: "ELK, Splunk"

    notifications:
      - slack: "#deployments channel"

      - pagerduty: "on-call rotation"
    smoke_tests:
      - endpoint: "https://api.example.com/v1/health"
      - assertions:
          - status: "200"
          - response_time: "< 500ms"
          - body_contains: '"status":"ok"'
