Ship Kubernetes, host, container, and cloud-provider telemetry into Grafana Cloud — \`k8s-monitoring\` Helm chart for K8s clusters (metrics + logs + traces + events + cost), Alloy \`prometheus.exporter.unix\` for Linux hosts, cAdvisor + Docker discovery for containers, and CloudWatch / Azure Monitor / Google Cloud Monitoring datasource setup. Use when onboarding a new cluster or VM fleet to Grafana Cloud, picking the right Helm values for K8s scraping, wiring kube-state-metrics + node-exporter + cAdvisor, alerting on \`PodCrashLooping\` / node memory / PVC capacity, or pulling AWS / Azure / GCP cloud metrics — even when the user says "monitor my cluster", "send K8s metrics to Grafana", "scrape EC2 metrics", "cluster pod logs", or "install the monitoring helm chart" without naming \`k8s-monitoring\` or Alloy.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/grafana/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/grafana-cloud/infrastructure ~/.claude/skills/infrastructure
