React Application Deployment on AKS
Containerized frontend with Helm-driven rollouts
Overview
Containerized a React application with a multi-stage Docker build and deployed it to AKS through Helm charts driven by Azure DevOps pipelines. Values files separate environment configuration from the chart itself, and rolling updates with readiness probes keep the app available through every release.
Engineering focus
The build agent OS and the node architecture must match the image, and readiness probes have to be honest — a rolling update is only zero-downtime if the probe says so.
