Incredibuild deployment strategies article tools

Contains all files and commands needed for Incredibuild deployment strategies article.

implementing recreate deployment:

Deploy the first version of the application

kubectl apply -f version1-deployment.yml && kubectl rollout status -f version1-deployment.yml

Apply the production service

kubectl apply -f production-service.yml

Delete the first version of the application

kubectl delete -f version1-deployment.yml

After the first version is completely deleted, Deploy the new version of the application

kubectl apply -f version2-deployment.yml && kubectl rollout status -f version2-deployment.yml

Now, all that's left is to change the service to point to the new version.

kubectl patch service production-service --patch '{"spec": {"selector": {"version": "v1.1"}}}'

implementing Blue/Green deployment:

Apply the blue instance’s deployment

kubectl apply -f version1-deployment.yml && kubectl rollout status -f version1-deployment.yml

Apply the green instance’s deployment

kubectl apply -f version2-deployment.yml && kubectl rollout status -f version2-deployment.yml

Apply the production service

kubectl apply -f production-service.yml

Run tests on the green instance

If issues were discovered in the new version during testing, Delete the new version’s deployment and fix the application’s code before redeploying

kubectl delete -f version2-deployment.yml

If the new version testing was successful and the version is production-ready, change the service to point to the green instance

kubectl patch service production-service --patch '{"spec": {"selector": {"version": "v1.1"}}}'

and that’s it!

implementing Canary deployment:

Deploy 3 instances of the first version of the application

kubectl apply -f version1-deployment.yml && kubectl rollout status -f version1-deployment.yml

Apply the production service

kubectl apply -f production-service.yml

Decrease the current version’s instances to 3

kubectl scale --replicas=3 -f version1-deployment.yml && kubectl rollout status -f version1-deployment.yml

Deploy the new version of the application on 3 instances

kubectl apply -f version2-deployment.yml && kubectl scale --replicas=3 -f version2-deployment.yml && kubectl rollout status -f version2-deployment.yml

Change the service to point to both versions, when 3 instances are the current version and 3 are the new one. In other words, 50% of the users will access the new version and 50% will access the current one

kubectl patch service production-service --patch '{"spec": {"selector": {"version": null}}}'

Run tests on the new version’s instances

If issues were discovered in the new version during testing, Rollback to the previous version (Delete the new version’s deployment, and increase the previous version’s instance number to the original)

kubectl delete -f version2-deployment.yml && kubectl scale --replicas=6 -f version1-deployment.yml && kubectl rollout status -f version1-deployment.yml

If the version is functioning well, complete the rollout by deleting the current version’s deployment and increasing the new version’s instance number to the original

kubectl delete -f version1-deployment.yml && kubectl scale --replicas=6 -f version2-deployment.yml && kubectl rollout status -f version2-deployment.yml
