Description

Automate the deployment process for the new service using GitHub Actions, with the goal of reducing manual intervention and minimizing errors. This automation will streamline the deployment pipeline and allow developers to focus on debugging when necessary, rather than managing deployment steps manually.

Context

We need to automated deployment process to prevent potential issues caused by manual deployment. One suggestion by @Hareet is using GitHub Actions with Helm commands for deployment automation. This approach will allow us to deploy consistently and minimize human error in the deployment pipeline.

Action Items

• Set up GitHub Action: Create a GitHub Action workflow to automate Helm deployments.
• Manual Trigger Option: Configure a manual trigger for deployments, allowing control over when deployments occur.
• Use of Environment Variables: Replace kubecontext token with a secure environment variable within GitHub Actions for authentication.
• Testing: Build and test the automation with proper credentials, ensuring it runs as expected.
• Update documentation to outline the steps for using this automation.
• If possible - delete deploy branch to avoid future confusion of how to push to prod
