• Narges Asadnajafi (nargesas@kth.se)

Deadline

• Task 3

Category

• Executable tutorial

Description

The tutorial will cover blue-green deployment and smoke testing, and how they can effectively work together. The tutorial will show:

• how to deploy a new app version (green) alongside the current version (blue).
• test the green version before switching traffic.
• roll back if issues occur.
• a simplified CD pipeline to show how automation can reduce downtime and risk in production.

The ILOs are:

• understand and implement Blue-Green deployment in Kubernetes.
• implement smoke testing of the green deployment.
• implement rollback logic.
• simulate a CD pipeline including deployment, testing, traffic switching and rollback.

This tutorial will be made in Killercoda.

Relevance

CD is an important part of DevOps. Blue-Green deployment is relevant to DevOps as it is a software release strategy. Furthermore, together with smoke testing and rollback possibilities it can enable safer releases.
