For services with a short product release cycle, fast build and deployment of service code is essential. The need of a CI/CD environment that automates code integration and deployment is surely in required.

Try to configure the services with our CI/CD tools-installed IKS cluster and container registry. Accelerate time-to-market and improvement of services by automating the code building, testing, and deployment that are required to release applications. You can also create, deploy, and delete new pods in seconds by micro-scaling your services into Kubernetes pods and speeding up your works.

* Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery

If multiple teams are managing the service together, multiple clusters will be in operation. This means, applications may need to be run on a new cluster from time to time.

It is cumbersome to build applications using existing YAML files in an environment like this. It is because the manifest (pod definition) of specific settings must be modified one by one in line with the environment of the new cluster.

However, you can manage the manifest easier using Helm. By templating the values and variables required to run the application, you can quickly build the application by adding and modifying only the necessary property values.

Pods that perform tasks in Kubernetes are created and deleted while moving from one node to another without being dependent on a specific node. The data within the pods will also be deleted and restarted accordingly. But what if you need this data? How will you be able to save them?

In this case, you can use Persistent Volumes (PVs) to permanently store and use data. Maintain your essential DC or CI/CD within Persistent Volumes even if the pods are deleted.

PV also enables you to speed up your work. Typically, the test speed of the service environment can be improved. It is because storing temporary builds in the PV reduces repetitive tasks and makes faster deployment possible.
