Kubernetes Deployment

Master the deployment of Claude Code applications on Kubernetes with production-ready patterns, best practices, and enterprise-grade configurations.

📚 Documentation

Kubernetes Deployment Guide

Comprehensive guide covering:

• Deployment strategies (Rolling, Blue/Green, Canary)
• Production-ready manifests and Helm charts
• Auto-scaling configurations (HPA, VPA, Cluster Autoscaler)
• Service mesh integration (Linkerd, Istio)
• Secrets management and ConfigMaps
• GitOps with ArgoCD

🚀 Quick Start

Basic Deployment

# Apply basic deployment
kubectl apply -f claude-code-deployment.yaml
 
# Check deployment status
kubectl rollout status deployment/claude-code-app
 
# Scale deployment
kubectl scale deployment/claude-code-app --replicas=5

Helm Deployment

# Add Claude Code Helm repository
helm repo add claude-code https://charts.claude-code.io
helm repo update
 
# Install with production values
helm install claude-code claude-code/app \
  --namespace production \
  --values values-prod.yaml

🔧 Key Features

Deployment Strategies

• Rolling Updates: Zero-downtime deployments
• Blue/Green: Instant rollback capability
• Canary: Gradual rollout with risk mitigation
• Shadow: Test with production traffic

Scaling Options

• Horizontal Pod Autoscaler: Scale based on CPU/memory
• Vertical Pod Autoscaler: Right-size pod resources
• Cluster Autoscaler: Scale node pool automatically
• KEDA: Event-driven autoscaling

Service Mesh Integration

• Linkerd: Simple, lightweight service mesh
• Istio: Advanced traffic management
• mTLS: Automatic encryption between services
• Traffic policies: Canary, circuit breaking, retries

📋 Production Checklist

Before deploying to production:

• Resource limits and requests defined
• Health checks implemented (liveness/readiness)
• Secrets stored in external system
• RBAC policies configured
• Network policies defined
• Pod disruption budgets set
• Monitoring and alerting configured
• Backup strategy implemented

🎯 Common Patterns

GitOps Workflow

# ArgoCD Application
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: claude-code
spec:
  source:
    repoURL: https://github.com/yourorg/claude-k8s
    path: deployments/production
  destination:
    server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true

Multi-Environment Setup

• Development: Rapid iteration, lower resources
• Staging: Production-like, testing ground
• Production: High availability, full monitoring
