Blue Green Deployments
Voyager supports Blue Green deployments using weighted loadbalancing for backend pods. Following example illustrates a weighted loadbalancer scenario.
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
labels:
app: deployment
app-version: v1
name: deployment-1
namespace: default
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: deployment
app-version: v1
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: deployment
app-version: v1
annotations:
ingress.appscode.com/backend-weight: "90"
spec:
containers:
- env:
- name: POD_NAME
valueFrom:
fieldRef:
apiVersion: v1
fieldPath: metadata.name
image: appscode/test-server:1.1
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
name: server
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
name: http-1
protocol: TCP

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
labels:
app: deployment
app-version: v2
name: deployment-2
namespace: default
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:

app-version: v2

app-version: v2

ingress.appscode.com/backend-weight: "10"

fieldRef:
apiVersion: v1
fieldPath: metadata.name
image: appscode/test-server:1.1
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
name: server
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
name: http-1
protocol: TCP
Two different workload with the annotation ingress.appscode.com/backend-weight and one single service pointing to them
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: deployment-svc
namespace: default
spec:
ports:
- name: http-1
port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 8080
selector:
app: deployment
The following ingress will forward 90% traffic to deployment-1 and 10% to deployment-2
apiVersion: voyager.appscode.com/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: test-ing
namespace: default
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- backend:
service:
name: deployment-svc
port:
number: 80
path: /testpath
The default weight is 1, and the maximal value is 256. A value of 0 means the server will not participate in load-balancing but will still accept persistent connections.
