Kubernetes offers multiple deployment strategies to fit various integration and delivery use-cases. The canary deployment strategy allows for the incremental release of new features/code in production to minimize the impact and risk of new software updates, while a small subset of the workload or users is replaced with the newer version, and subsequent users/workloads are gradually transferred to the newer version. Istio provides various API objects in the networking.istio.io/v1alpha3 API group to simplify load balancing, routing, and other traffic management functions. Canary testing enables safe and incremental testing of new features and updates, less infrastructure requirement, and swift and smooth rollbacks. Istio can be used to simplify scalable canary deployments for Kubernetes workloads with intelligent routing features, allowing teams to connect, secure, and monitor microservices in a hybrid and multi-cloud production environment while enabling them to run secure, reliable Kubernetes applications anywhere.
