A deep dive into rolling updates, blue-green deployments, and canary releases in production.
Modern engineering requires that production systems never sleep. This technical guide breaks down the Kubernetes Deployment object and how to configure it for truly zero-downtime releases.
Analysis includes:
- Readiness and Liveness probes: Tuning for stability.
- Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for advanced traffic splitting.
- Using Istio Service Mesh for fine-grained Canary releases with weight-based routing.
