But hey, k8s what?
Deploy scripts
• Check that dependencies are in present • Creating a Replication Controller if none exist • Updating the Replication Controller if exists • Performing rolling update
Heaven passes info to our scripts
• Branch • Sha • Environment
Caveats
• None
Future plans
• Shorten container build time • Automated canary releases • Manage infrastructure • Deployment API
Emerging patterns
• nginx-ssl-proxies • certificates in secrets • discovery by dns
• environment discovery • one cluster per environment • building containers == slow
Where to start
• Start with monitoring • Make stable deploy scripts that do not require a lot of
parameters • Test locally first • Slowly does it • Avoid channel spamming
