You push the new version of your app as a helm chart to your helm repo and then run:
helm upgrade my-app
- cdelsolar 8y agono - I meant, outside of Kubernetes, in the past (sorry, my wording in my post was a bit confusing). My app used to just be something I would ssh into and then do a git pull, but whenever I had to upgrade packages it would be tricky. Then I tried Docker with docker-compose and I had similar issues with environment variable changes. Kubernetes is great; all I do is kubectl apply -f new_config.yml and everything just works without downtime. I only very recently learned about Helm when doing automatic SSL upgrading, but it looks cool too. In general I really don't think k8s is the monster people make it out to be. I did all this on the side over the course of a few weeks, a few hours here and there. I know I'm only scratching the surface of what is possible, but everything just works fine, and my .yaml files are pretty self-explanatory.
