Implementing Production-Grade Deployment Strategies on Kubernetes (EC2)

Happy to share my latest article:
"Implementing Production-Grade Deployment Strategies on Kubernetes (EC2)"

This guide shows how to implement Rolling Updates, Canary Deployments, and Blue/Green releases on a self-managed Kubernetes cluster running on AWS EC2—using only native Kubernetes resources. No service meshes. No managed abstractions.

While many guides lean on EKS, Argo Rollouts, or Istio, this walkthrough takes a different path: every strategy is configured, executed, and evaluated using core Kubernetes primitives. You'll tune rollout behavior, manage traffic shifts, and practice rollback procedures—all with operational trade-offs in mind.

I welcome thoughtful feedback and technical discussion.
