## Description

You might already be using a CI/CD solution, but are you 100% sure things will roll out without a glitch once you go to production? Unfortunately differences between testing/staging and production environments are virtually unavoidable, and by extension there’s always a risk for unforeseen issues related to your production environment and/or actual load which can lead to potential disruption to your users.

Progressive delivery is the next step after Continuous Delivery to roll out your application in a controlled and automated way so you can verify and test your application in production before it becomes fully available to all your user bases.

Embrace GitOps and Progressive Delivery with techniques like blue-green, canary release, shadowing traffic, dark launches and automatic metrics-based rollouts to validate the application in production using Kubernetes and tools like Istio, Prometheus, ArgoCD, and Argo Rollouts.

Come to this session to learn about Progressive Delivery in action using Kubernetes. And to have some fun as well as we release a car racing game you can participate in :)
