Creating multi-environment Kubernetes deployments

The blog post by Matthew Casperson explores the process of managing multi-environment Kubernetes deployments using Octopus, which helps in transitioning applications through different environments like Development, Test, and Production, represented by namespaces and service accounts. It discusses the use of Octopus to create distinct environments and manage deployments securely by setting up environment-specific targets that restrict access to their respective namespaces. The post highlights the use of a community step template to automate the creation of these Kubernetes resources and runbooks for managing and inspecting the cluster, including setting up ingress controllers and updating DNS records through SimpleDNS. The deployment process involves deploying a sample application with environment-specific settings, demonstrating the integration of Kubernetes and Octopus to facilitate efficient and secure multi-environment management.
