Progressive Delivery Techniques with Flagger
Explore progressive delivery techniques for Kubernetes in this conference talk. Learn about various deployment methods like canary releases, dark launches, A/B testing, and blue-green mirroring to reduce risks when introducing new software versions in production. Discover how Flagger and service meshes can enhance deployment safety by limiting the impact of failed releases. Examine the pros and cons of different progressive delivery techniques, identify suitable applications for each method, and understand the added complexities involved. Witness a live demonstration of a GitOps pipeline powered by Flux, Flagger, and Linkerd, showcasing the presented deployment techniques. Gain insights into CI/CD, configuration drift, continuous delivery challenges, and the role of Kubernetes operators in modern software deployment strategies.
