Day two challenges for PF9 Managed Kubernetes customer SREs typically entail implementing a process for Development teams to begin testing and deploying their applications into the new K8s environments. Instead of granting this access directly to development teams, SREs can utilize a CI/CD pipeline with very narrowly scoped access to handle deployments on dev teams behalf.
In this session we provided an overview of CI/CD pipeline best practices and a demo:
Covering how to utilize a standard “commodity” Jenkins CI server to create a Continuous Delivery pipeline.
Utilizing Github Actions to automatically bump the Semantic versions of the application and container(s).
Enjoying continuous, automated deployments into Development or Staging PMK Clusters.
Keeping track of all application K8s manifest version changes with git commit SHA resource annotations.
Source control triggered, one-step deterministic application promotions from Staging to Production PMK Clusters.
