Introduction to the Deployment Service

The Deployment service provides a fully managed GitOps workflow, allowing you to deploy and manage your applications declaratively and reliably. By treating your Git repository as the single source of truth, this service automates your deployment pipelines, reduces manual errors, and provides a complete audit trail for every change.

This service is the engine behind the Contain Platform's GitOps-first approach. It uses the industry-leading Flux (GitOps Toolkit) to ensure that the state of your Kubernetes cluster always matches the configuration defined in your Git repository.

Our team manages the entire lifecycle of the GitOps tooling, freeing you to focus on defining your applications, not on maintaining the deployment infrastructure.

What is GitOps?

GitOps is a modern approach to continuous delivery that uses Git as the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications. To learn more about the principles, workflow, and benefits, please see our detailed explanation in GitOps Concepts.

Features

  • Fully Managed Tooling: We handle the installation, configuration, security, and lifecycle management of the Flux components in your cluster, reducing your operational overhead.
  • Declarative Deployments: Define your entire application stack—from Kubernetes manifests to Helm charts—as code in a Git repository.
  • Automated Reconciliation: The service continuously monitors your Git repository and automatically applies any changes to your cluster, ensuring your deployments are always in sync.
  • Enhanced Security: Enforce security and compliance by managing all changes through a version-controlled workflow with pull requests and peer reviews.
