The text provides an overview of building effective Continuous Delivery (CD) and Continuous Deployment (CD) pipelines for microservice-based applications on Kubernetes, using Codefresh as a tool to streamline the process. It emphasizes the importance of automating as many tasks as possible, starting with building Docker images upon a git push, and highlights the challenges of deploying these images to Kubernetes environments, especially when dealing with imperfect architectures. The document discusses the role of Codefresh in simplifying Kubernetes CD pipelines by offering built-in steps for updating Helm charts and monitoring Kubernetes clusters. It also explores the distinction between Continuous Delivery, which may involve manual interventions, and Continuous Deployment, which aims for full automation after a git push. The text suggests using Amazon S3 as a Helm chart repository for its API support and discusses the ongoing improvements to Codefresh to enhance Kubernetes CD processes, inviting feedback and engagement from users to further refine the platform.
