Deployment Pipelines in Staging are capable of managing traffic
Problem Description
During deployments we currently have no process which reaches into any service to ask a downstream deployment to receive a differing percentage of traffic. As we've tested and confirmed that the use of Flagger and Istio provide us these capabilities, it is time to integrate these tools into our Staging deployment pipelines. Consider that after a deployment is complete, we can now ask these tools to shift traffic to the new deployment as necessary. Please make note that we are targeting active environments for this work and that we must ensure we have a way to backup in case something does not operate as desired.
