Template Contribution Guide#

Agent Zone validation templates are reusable infrastructure configurations that agents and developers use to validate changes. A Kubernetes devcontainer template, an ephemeral EKS cluster module, a static validation pipeline script – each follows a standard format so that any agent or developer can pick one up, understand its purpose, and use it without reading through implementation details.

This guide defines the standards for contributing templates. It covers directory structure, required files, testing, quality expectations, versioning, and the submission process.

Using Minikube for CI, Integration Testing, and Local Development Workflows#

Minikube gives you a real Kubernetes cluster wherever you need one – on a developer laptop, in a GitHub Actions runner, or in any CI environment that has Docker. The patterns differ between local development and CI, but the underlying approach is the same: stand up a cluster, deploy your workload and its dependencies, test against it, tear it down.
