Deploying to Kubernetes with Octopus
Kubernetes is one of the most common places Octopus users actually deploy to, not a niche case, so this session treats it that way.
We'll go through Kubernetes targets, working with Helm charts, and running a basic rolling update, with the same level of real, specific detail as every other session in this series, not a high-level overview that leaves out the parts that actually matter.
If you're managing containerized workloads and want Octopus handling the deployment logic instead of a collection of scripts, this is the session that shows what that looks like in practice.
