This repository is a reference list of 100 ready to use prompts for talking to Claude about Kubernetes, the system many companies use to run and manage containerized applications. Instead of writing a new question from scratch every time, the idea is to copy one of these prompts, paste it into Claude, and get a focused answer back. The prompts are organized into ten categories of ten each, moving from cluster setup and architecture through debugging and troubleshooting, security and access control, networking, storage, scaling and performance, continuous delivery and GitOps, exam preparation for the CKA, CKAD, and CKS certifications, AI workloads running on Kubernetes, and finally multi cluster and platform engineering topics. Each prompt is written as a short block of text that can be used as is, or lightly edited where it has a placeholder in brackets for you to fill in, such as your own error message or configuration file. Some prompts ask Claude to explain a concept, others ask it to generate a checklist, write example configuration files, or walk through a diagnostic process step by step, for example figuring out why a pod will not start or why a service cannot be reached from inside the cluster. The collection is aimed at a wide range of people who work with Kubernetes: those just learning the basics, engineers handling day to day operational issues, senior engineers designing larger systems, site reliability engineers troubleshooting live problems, platform teams building internal tools, and anyone studying for one of the Kubernetes certification exams. There is no code to install and nothing to configure. The value is entirely in the prompts themselves, and the suggestion in the README is to paste real output, like actual error logs or YAML files, directly into a prompt for a more accurate answer, and to follow up with additional questions once you have Claude's first response.
