Now that we have a process that automatically builds a container image whenever changes are committed to the git repository, we need a way to get those changes out, either into a development or test environment, or to the production environment. In the gitops world, a deployment is also initiated by a change to the […]
This article is the fourth in the series on how to set up an automated end-to-end workflow for deploying to a Kubernetes cluster. The previous steps accomplished a lot, even if they sound simple. Each involved multiple additional tasks to set up tools and systems, the classic yak shaving scenario. While the first two steps […]
This is the third part of the guide to setting up an automated workflow to deploy code to a Kubernetes cluster following a change in a git repository. The first two parts of this series so far belong in the dev portion of devops. They encompass what most software engineers do to build and test […]

However, code has to be developed and tested before it can be shipped. That requires an environment where developers can integrate their code, an environment where QA teams can perform […]
