Optimize your CI/CD by moving to Kubernetes

Kubernetes is ideal for powering CI/CD pipelines due to its ability to automatically scale build agents, handle traffic spikes, and provide smart layer caching for faster container builds. It also allows for simple rollbacks of infrastructure deployments and consolidated tooling. Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Kubernetes can further optimize CI/CD processes by enabling versioned deployments and automating deployment kicks-off after check-in of any changed files. Additionally, separating the CI/CD Kubernetes cluster from other clusters helps maintain security and cost tracking. While there are complexities to navigate when using Kubernetes for CI/CD, it can significantly improve build scalability and reliability for teams with large, centralized pipelines.
