How do I do progressive delivery for Continuous Deployment with Argo CD?

Progressive delivery is a vital practice in modern Continuous Deployment that allows teams to gradually release new features to users, minimizing risks and ensuring stability. Argo CD is a powerful tool for managing Kubernetes deployments that can effectively enable progressive delivery.

To perform progressive delivery with Argo CD, you can implement mechanisms such as feature flags, blue-green deployments, or canary releases. Here’s an example of how you could leverage Argo CD for a canary deployment:

apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: my-app-canary spec: replicas: 5 selector: matchLabels: app: my-app version: canary template: metadata: labels: app: my-app version: canary spec: containers: - name: my-app-container image: my-app:v2.0.0 ports: - containerPort: 80 env: - name: FEATURE_FLAG value: 'true'
