Summary

The text provides an overview of various deployment strategies that facilitate continuous delivery in cloud environments using Kubernetes. It emphasizes the importance of low-stress deployments, which enable engineering teams to iterate quickly and ensure customer satisfaction. The document distinguishes between Kubernetes-specific deployment properties, such as 'Recreate' and 'Rolling Update,' and general deployment strategies like Blue/Green, Canary, and A/B testing, each with its own advantages and challenges. These strategies allow for safe rollbacks, testing of new versions, and the ability to manage multiple deployment environments. The text also highlights the need for backward compatibility, effective monitoring, and logging tools to ensure smooth deployments. It suggests that subsequent posts will provide practical examples of implementing these strategies using Codefresh pipelines and Kubernetes, encouraging readers to engage further by creating a Codefresh account.
