Building and Deploying Applications to Kubernetes with GitLab and Waypoint
summary
Shows a concrete GitLab CI/CD pipeline that runs Waypoint commands to build, push, deploy and release a Python Flask app to GKE, using buildpacks, docker login to the GitLab registry, and a Kubernetes service account with RBAC. The Waypoint HCL is ~30 lines and defines build, registry tag (git ref), Kubernetes deploy with LoadBalancer and a stable public IP. Pipeline runtimes are minutes; Waypoint surfaces logs and a deployment url and a release url and supports Waypoint up.
