How do I do progressive delivery for Jump boxes with Argo CD?

Progressive delivery is an essential strategy used in modern DevOps practices to roll out changes in a controlled and gradual manner. Using Argo CD, a popular continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes, you can implement progressive delivery for jump boxes. This allows for incremental updates while minimizing disruptions.

Steps to Achieve Progressive Delivery for Jump Boxes with Argo CD

  1. Install Argo CD: Ensure that Argo CD is correctly installed and configured in your Kubernetes cluster.
  2. Create Application Manifests: Define your jump box application in the form of Kubernetes manifests.
  3. Setup a Progressive Delivery Strategy: Define a progressive delivery strategy. You might consider using feature flags to control the new feature rollouts.
  4. Monitor and Rollback: Continuously monitor the performance of the updated jump boxes and have rollback mechanisms in place.

By implementing these steps, you can ensure a smooth transition to the new jump box updates while maintaining service stability.
