Use Amazon EKS and Argo Rollouts for Progressive Delivery

A common hurdle to DevOps strategies is the manual testing, sign-off, and deployment steps required to deliver new or enhanced feature sets. If an application is updated frequently, these actions can be time-consuming and error prone. You can address these challenges by incorporating progressive delivery concepts along with the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) […]
