How to automate Kubernetes deployments

Kubernetes lets you manage containerized applications on a cluster of nodes. If you need to deploy and scale your application on the fly without consuming more resources that required, that’s a solution for you.

Buddy lets you automate the whole delivery process to one git push to your repo. And these are the benefits:

• you don’t have to enter the commands manually every time
• you get precise feedback in case there’s an error in .yml files
• you don’t need a DevOps specialist around to update your application
• you can expand your delivery pipeline with builds and tests before the deployment

The main objective of this article is to tell you how to do that in a series of a few simple steps.

1. Sign up to Buddy with GitHub/Bitbucket or email
2. Create a new project, select your Git provider, and choose your WP project:
