## What it is
An educational repository demonstrating Kubernetes deployment strategies (recreate, ramped/rolling, blue/green, canary, A/B testing, shadow) with runnable manifests and examples. It includes Prometheus and Grafana setup for visualizing deployment progress and performance.

## Use cases
- learn kubernetes deployment strategies
- set up canary deployment in kubernetes
- compare blue-green vs rolling update deployments
- experiment with deployment strategies on minikube
- monitor deployments with prometheus and grafana
- implement a/b testing releases in kubernetes
- mirror traffic to a new version with shadow deployment

## When to choose
- you want hands-on, runnable examples of each Kubernetes release strategy
- you are evaluating which deployment strategy fits your application
- you need reference manifests for canary, blue/green, or shadow deployments

## When to avoid
- you need a production deployment automation tool rather than educational examples
- you want built-in progressive delivery features like Argo Rollouts or Flagger provide
- you need a supported, licensed product for enterprise use
