Kubernetes Deployment Workflow

Overview

Specialized workflow for deploying applications to Kubernetes including container orchestration, Helm charts, service mesh configuration, and production-ready K8s patterns.

When to Use This Workflow

Use this workflow when:

Deploying to Kubernetes
Creating Helm charts
Configuring service mesh
Setting up K8s networking
Implementing K8s security

Target and evidence

Select only phases needed for the requested change. Confirm cluster/context, namespace, ownership, API/CRD versions and deployment/cost authorization before registry pushes or cluster writes. Prepare a reviewed immutable image and rendered manifests, validate schema/policy and diff the exact target, then use a tested rollout and rollback strategy. A valid manifest is not a healthy deployment; verify readiness, application flows, metrics and data-migration compatibility. Store secrets through the actual protected platform mechanism, not committed plaintext YAML.

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Container Preparation
