Continuous Delivery Meets Custom Kubernetes Controller
summary
Nearmap builds and open sources CV Manager (CVM), a CRD plus custom Kubernetes controller that watches container registries and drives deployments without exposing the API server. Pipeline uses CircleCI and AWS ECR, pushes image metadata, and sinkers poll the registry (default 30 seconds) to validate and trigger rollouts. CVM supports native rollouts, an automated service-level Blue/Green option, opt-in rollback, a one-step install, low per-sinker resource use, and the demo deploys successfully in seconds.
