Shipper: Multi-cluster canary or blue-green deployments with Helm

Every fast-moving company needs to find a way to innovate without constantly taking the site down. At Booking, we’ve traditionally relied heavily on multi-step canary rollouts to enable a high pace of change with acceptable levels of safety.
However, when we started building our Kubernetes platform, we found that the solutions for scriptable canary rollouts were not very strong: Spinnaker was in the middle of re-writing its Kubernetes integration, Jenkins X wasn’t a thing yet, and Istio was pre-alpha.
Worse than that, none of those solutions allowed us to gracefully deploy applications to multiple clusters. Sure, we can run `kubectl` in a for loop, but the whole reason we’re using Kubernetes is to have self-healing, convergent systems. Federation is getting there, but they’re solving a much harder problem. We needed _just enough_ multi-cluster.
To answer this, we built Shipper, a set of controllers that implement multi-cluster customisable rollouts (blue green, canary, or anything else) based on Helm charts. In this talk I’ll discuss the system, how it works, and our plans for open sourcing.

See you there!
