Deploying to Kubernetes with Azure DevOps

We have seen a lot of options for deploying and configuring the Kubernetes cluster via the command line. When working with DevOps, however, changes need to be applied in a continuous way.

For this, there is the Kubernetes manifest task within Azure DevOps, which contains a lot of functionalities to manage a Kubernetes cluster:

task: KubernetesManifest@0 
  inputs:
  action: 'deploy'
  kubernetesServiceConnection: '[service connection name]' 
  manifests: '[path to your deployment file]'
  containers: 'msftazuredevops.azurecr.io/azuredevops:$(Build.BuildID)'

• action: The kind of action we want to perform. In this example, the deploy action is used because we want to deploy/apply a deployment file.
• kubernetesServiceConnection: The service connection to the Kubernetes cluster.
