Which tools are supported by this skill?

The skill provides implementation examples for Istio service mesh, Flagger progressive delivery, and native Kubernetes CLI-based rollouts.

How do I monitor the health of a canary release?

This skill guides you through monitoring 5xx error rates, P95 latency, throughput, and resource usage using tools like Prometheus to ensure the canary is healthy.

Does this skill support automated rollbacks?

Yes, it includes patterns and scripts for monitoring key metrics like error rates and latency to trigger automatic rollbacks if the new version fails to meet defined thresholds.

What is a canary deployment?

A canary deployment is a strategy where a new software version is rolled out to a small percentage of users to verify its stability and performance before proceeding with a full release.

Implements safe, metric-driven release patterns to gradually roll out new versions while minimizing user impact and providing automated rollbacks.

Acerca de

This skill provides comprehensive guidance and implementation patterns for canary deployment strategies, enabling developers to roll out new software versions to a small subset of traffic before full release. It includes production-ready configurations for Istio, Flagger, and native Kubernetes, along with automated scripts for monitoring metrics and performing automatic rollbacks if performance thresholds aren't met. It is ideal for DevOps engineers and developers looking to improve release reliability and reduce the blast radius of potential bugs in high-traffic environments.
