# Cursor workflows for DevOps

Cursor was used by a DevOps engineer with rules files, MCP plugins, and auto-run commands to refactor configs, debug builds, and migrate infrastructure code.

Result: The author migrated 10+ Lambda functions from Node.js 14 to 20 in one pass and fixed a broken docker-compose file by auto-retrying until clean.

## How it was set up

Cursor with a .cursorrules file, global rules, Kubernetes and GitHub MCP plugins, a .cursorignore file, notepads for CI/CD templates, and agent auto-run commands enabled.

## Worth knowing

Cursor once hallucinated secrets from a .env file until it was ignored. AI changes can go rogue, so the author commits often and saves checkpoints.

## Prompt

```text
Fix this Dockerfile for a [language] app. Base image: [image]. Run as non-root user. Add a multistage build for production. Keep size under [size]. Validate with 'docker build --no-cache'.
```

## Evidence note
