Leave a Comment / Progressive Deployment / Brittany Hall

Introduction Deploying new versions of applications without causing downtime or service disruption is a top priority for modern DevOps teams. One of the most effective strategies to achieve this is blue-green deployment, which keeps two separate environments one live (blue) and one idle (green) to safely switch traffic during releases. Argo Rollouts makes implementing blue-green […]

Argo Rollouts with Service Mesh: Istio, Linkerd & Traefik Integration

Leave a Comment / Integration / Brittany Hall

Introduction The integration of a service mesh into a Kubernetes cluster marks the transition from basic container orchestration to sophisticated traffic management. While standard Kubernetes services provide simple round-robin load balancing, they lack the surgical precision required for advanced deployment strategies. Argo Rollouts acts as the brain of the operation, while the service mesh serves
