Overview

Establish automated deployment pipelines that safely and reliably move applications across development, staging, and production environments with minimal manual intervention and risk.

When to Use

Continuous deployment to Kubernetes
Infrastructure as Code deployment
Multi-environment promotion
Blue-green deployment strategies
Canary release management
Infrastructure provisioning
Automated rollback procedures

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# helm/Chart.yaml
apiVersion: v2
name: myapp
description: My awesome application
type: application
version: 1.0.0

# helm/values.yaml
replicaCount: 3
image:
  repository: ghcr.io/myorg/myapp
  pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
  tag: "1.0.0"
service:
  type: ClusterIP
  port: 80
  targetPort: 3000
resources:
  requests:
    memory: "256Mi"
    cpu: "250m"
  limits:
    memory: "512Mi"
    cpu: "500m"
autoscaling:
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm)
Implement GitOps workflows
Use blue-green deployments
Implement canary releases
Automate rollback procedures
Test deployments in staging first
Use feature flags for gradual rollout
Monitor deployment health
Document deployment procedures
Implement approval gates for production
Version infrastructure code
Use environment parity

❌ DON'T

Deploy directly to production
Skip testing in staging
Use manual deployment scripts
Deploy without rollback plan
Ignore health checks
Use hardcoded configuration
Deploy during critical hours
Skip pre-deployment validation
Forget to backup before deploy
Deploy from local machines
