Canary & Blue-Green Deployments Using Gateway API Most teams think canary and blue-green deployments require a service mesh or a rollout controller. They don’t. In this video, I show how to implement canary releases, blue-green deployments, and instant rollback using only Kubernetes Gateway API, no Istio, no Argo Rollouts, no extra control planes. You’ll see how platform teams: - Deploy a new application version safely - Keep versions isolated using Services - Split traffic gradually using HTTPRoute weights - Roll back instantly by changing routing, not redeploying The key idea is simple: Deploy first, route later. Gateway API keeps routing declarative, rollouts controlled, and applications boring exactly how production platforms should work. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Timestamps ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 – Canary & Blue-Green with Gateway API 00:40 – Existing Setup: App, Services, Gateway API Recap 01:30 – Deploying a New App Version (Zero Traffic, Zero Risk) 03:30 – Canary Rollout Using HTTPRoute Weights 06:58 – Canary vs Blue-Green Explained (Routing Is the Only Change) 07:22 – Final Takeaways & Platform Mindset 🔗 Watch Related Playlists: - Kubernetes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-K2rw28HIwZVMo9CtbV0wDu548SN0h9Y - Github Actions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-K2rw28HIwYfq7SqYnBzAxlUhcYP7ldM - Ansible: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-K2rw28HIwaavCXTYEWF4mP431KmKtEY - AWX: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-K2rw28HIwbTtijpBMrOaHdnWGXdOkYa - AI: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-K2rw28HIwaSvmI8oFeSQDl4cVTdxaGQ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Connect with me ▬▬▬▬▬▬ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kumar-nikhil811/ Website: https://techinik.com Medium: https://medium.com/@kumarnikhil811 #kubernetes #kubernetesnetworking #gatewayapi #nginx #deployments #devops
