How do I implement canary releases for Kubernetes namespaces?

Implementing canary releases in Kubernetes namespaces allows you to deploy new features to a small subset of users before rolling out changes to the entire application. This approach minimizes risk and ensures that issues can be caught early. Below is an example of how to set up canary releases using Kubernetes namespaces.

apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: my-app-canary namespace: canary spec: replicas: 2 selector: matchLabels: app: my-app version: canary template: metadata: labels: app: my-app version: canary spec: containers: - name: my-app image: my-app:canary ports: - containerPort: 80 --- apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: my-app-stable namespace: stable spec: replicas: 8 selector: matchLabels: app: my-app version: stable template: metadata: labels: app: my-app version: stable spec: containers: - name: my-app image: my-app:stable ports: - containerPort: 80 --- apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: my-app namespace: default spec: selector: app: my-app ports: - port: 80 targetPort: 80 type: LoadBalancer
