Application Deployments

Design Principles - Application repositories will contain the application source code, docker files and helm charts to deploy the application.

Application-repo
├─ Dockerfile
├─ src/
│  └─ ....
└─ manifests/
   └─ helm/
      ├─ Chart.yaml
      ├─ values.yaml
      └─ templates/
         └─ ....

- All application deployments are managed with HelmRelease. - All GitOps environments should use the main branch. Approaches such as a branch per environment have downsides and should be avoided. - Each environment will have an environment-specific Azure Container Registry that the CI pipeline will push the docker images and artifacts (helm charts etc) to.

Promoting Changes across Environments

CI/CD pipelines should support both continuous deployment and continuous delivery.
