How to implement Blue/Green Kubernetes deployments using Helm and CI/CD

Blue/Green deployments are one of the advanced methods of deploying workloads to a Kubernetes cluster. They enable you to achieve zero downtime while performing QA tests in an actual production environment.
This video explains the concept and how it can be implemented using Helm in a CI/CD pipeline.

Great video , Thanks. One note: "Any remaining connections to the blue environment are drained" - I prefer to phrase it slightly differently: "Any connections to the blue environment are allow to naturally complete. This is called Draining" . I've had to explain this to higher up leadership often enough that wording in a way that makes it clear the transition is "gentle" makes my life easier.
