Automated Deployments with Kubernetes CD
Set up Continuous Deployment pipelines to automatically deploy new application versions to Kubernetes clusters.
What is Continuous Deployment?
After building and testing your code, the next step is getting it to users. Continuous Deployment (CD) automates this entire process, from code commit to production deployment, without human intervention.
It's the natural evolution of Continuous Integration (CI), where every successful build that passes all tests is automatically released.
Benefits of Automated K8s CD
Manually deploying to Kubernetes can be complex and error-prone. Automating deployments brings significant advantages:
- Speed: New features reach users faster.
- Consistency: Deployments are identical every time.
- Reliability: Reduces human errors in complex K8s operations.
- Scalability: Manages deployments across many services and clusters.
