Use Helm Test Feature for Deployment Validation
In the light of our recent migration to Kubernetes and given the criticality of database migrations, it is necessary to ensure our deployments are working as expected. To accomplish this, we need to leverage the test feature of Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes, to validate our deployments.
The tasks associated with this requirement include:
- Create Helm test scripts for our deployments that can validate the functionality of the deployed services.
- Incorporate these Helm tests into our CI/CD pipelines, to be run post-deployment.
- Ensure that these tests can validate our Kubernetes deployments and database migrations.
- Update our CI/CD pipelines to fail if Helm tests fail, ensuring we don't progress with a faulty deployment.
- Document the process and best practices for creating and updating these Helm tests for future reference.
