Continuous Delivery with Kubernetes at Box [I]

on YouTube ↗36m

" summary

Box runs Kubernetes across four clusters (three production) hosting about 80 services for ~80,000 organizations and builds a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins, Docker, Artifactory and declarative jsonnet templates. Commits trigger Jenkins pipelines that inject parameters, generate per-environment manifests (dev canary → staging → prod), and a continuously running kube-applier service applies and re-syncs the repo state to clusters, overriding manual drift and enabling fast rollbacks and cluster recovery. Continuous delivery requires manual approval to push to production.
