Next-gen CI/CD with Gitops and Progressive Delivery
#1about 4 minutes
The evolution of CI/CD from manual to automated
The journey from manual FTP deployments to automated CI/CD systems like Jenkins highlights the increasing need for reliable and repeatable release processes.
#2about 1 minute
Understanding GitOps for declarative application delivery
GitOps uses Git as the single source of truth for both application code and infrastructure configuration, enabling auditable and easily reversible deployments.
#3about 4 minutes
How GitOps complements traditional CI/CD workflows
While CI/CD is a one-way push for building artifacts, GitOps creates a continuous reconciliation loop to ensure the live cluster state always matches the desired state in Git.
#4about 4 minutes
Reducing release risk with progressive delivery techniques
Progressive delivery minimizes production risk by separating deployment from release, allowing for gradual rollouts and validation before exposing new versions to all users.
#5about 3 minutes
Implementing delivery patterns with Kubernetes and Istio
Native Kubernetes can handle basic blue-green and canary releases, but a service mesh like Istio provides more advanced traffic shaping capabilities for precise control.
#6about 2 minutes
Automating progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts
Argo Rollouts automates complex release strategies like canary and blue-green deployments by defining rollout steps and pauses directly in a declarative manifest.
#7about 1 minute
Using metrics for automated analysis and rollbacks
Argo Rollouts can integrate with monitoring tools like Prometheus to create analysis templates that automatically abort a release and roll back if key metrics like error rates degrade.
#8about 7 minutes
Demo of a successful and failed automated rollout
A live demonstration shows Argo Rollouts successfully completing a canary release, followed by another release that is automatically aborted and rolled back due to injected errors.
#9about 2 minutes
Addressing challenges with stateful applications
Progressive delivery with stateful applications requires careful handling of database schema changes to ensure backward compatibility during rollouts and potential rollbacks.
