fluxctl-rollout
fluxctl-rollout is a prototype of a hypothetical fluxctl rollout subcommand.
It operates directly on Istio-Kubernetes yaml files only and assumes gitops for the rest. All state required is stored in annotations on Deployment objects (probably).
It could later be integrated into Flux so that it runs server-side (in the user's cluster) at the point where Flux is operating on checked-out yaml files from the source of truth config repo.
Basic workflow:
stage -> (check) -> release
\-> abort
Usage:
Blue-green
$ fluxctl-rollout stage bluegreen --update-image=myapp:master-8da5ca3
Rollout id: a1b2c3d4e5
Old tag: myapp:master-7c04b92
New tag: myapp:master-8da5ca3
URL for new tag: http://blah:39191/
Use 'fluxctl-rollout abort a1b2c3d4e5' to cancel, or 'fluxctl-rollout release a1b2c3d4e5' to finish the rollout.
$ fluxctl-rollout release a1b2c3d4e5
Completing rollout... done.
100% user traffic now reaching New deployment.
Cleaning up Old deployment... done
$ fluxctl-rollout list
<shows in-flight rollouts>
Canary
$ fluxctl-rollout stage canary --update-image=myapp:master-8da5ca3
Rollout id: a1b2c3d4e5
Old tag: myapp:master-7c04b92
New tag: myapp:master-8da5ca3
5% of traffic is now being routed to master-8da5ca3.
