Kubernetes Rollback-Strategien: Sichere Deployments für deutsche Unternehmen

Authors

Warum Rollback-Strategien für Kubernetes?

In der modernen Software-Entwicklung sind sichere Deployments entscheidend für die Geschäftskontinuität. Kubernetes Rollback-Strategien bieten deutsche Unternehmen Zuverlässigkeit und Sicherheit bei der Anwendungsbereitstellung:

  • Zero-Downtime Deployments - Kontinuierliche Verfügbarkeit
  • Risikominimierung - Sichere Feature-Releases
  • Schnelle Problemlösung - Automatische Rollbacks
  • Business Continuity - Geschäftskontinuität
  • Quality Assurance - Qualitätssicherung

Manual Rollback Strategien

kubectl Rollback

# Deployment Rollback mit kubectl
# 1. Aktuelle Deployment-Historie anzeigen
kubectl rollout history deployment/app-deployment

# 2. Spezifische Revision anzeigen
kubectl rollout history deployment/app-deployment --revision=2

# 3. Rollback zur vorherigen Version
kubectl rollout undo deployment/app-deployment

# 4. Rollback zur spezifischen Revision
kubectl rollout undo deployment/app-deployment --to-revision=2

# 5. Rollback-Status überwachen
kubectl rollout status deployment/app-deployment

# 6. Rollback abbrechen
kubectl rollout pause deployment/app-deployment
kubectl rollout resume deployment/app-deployment

Helm Rollback

# Helm Rollback Commands
# 1. Release-Historie anzeigen
helm history my-app

# 2. Rollback zur vorherigen Version
helm rollback my-app

# 3. Rollback zur spezifischen Revision
helm rollback my-app 2

# 4. Rollback mit Custom Values
helm rollback my-app 2 --values custom-values.yaml

# 5. Rollback-Status überprüfen
helm status my-app

Rollback Testing

# Rollback Testing Strategy
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: rollback-testing
data:
  testing.yaml: |
    test_scenarios:
      - scenario: "Health check failure"
        test: "Simulate liveness probe failure"
        expected: "Automatic rollback within 2 minutes"
      
      - scenario: "Performance degradation"
        test: "Simulate high response time"
        expected: "Rollback after 5 minutes"
      
      - scenario: "Error rate increase"
        test: "Simulate high error rate"
        expected: "Immediate rollback"
      
      - scenario: "Manual rollback"
        test: "Execute manual rollback"
        expected: "Rollback within 1 minute"

    test_automation:
      tools:
        - "k6 for load testing"
        - "chaos-mesh for failure injection"
        - "prometheus for metrics"
