I'm Felix, a 28-year-old golden Kubestronaut who is really enthusiastic about all things Dev and DevOps. I like taking on challenging tasks and working through challenging issues.

In my spare time, I enjoy diving into books on new topics and have been happily running my own k8s cluster as a homelab for years. I started programming when I was fifteen, and I truly enjoy exploring new technologies and subjects all the time!

Outside of work, I spend time with my Labrador, Fred, and occasionally play chess—though I’m not particularly great at it! I thoroughly enjoy attending events like KubeCon to expand my network and deepen my knowledge.

Mirror-First Blue-Green Deployments with Octopus and Istio

Classic blue-green gives you instant rollback, but it doesn’t tell you how the new version behaves under real production traffic. In this session I’ll show a “mirror-first” pattern with Octopus and Istio: run the new version next to the live one, copy real requests to it, watch logs/latency/auth, and only promote to the live color if it stays clean. You get safer rollouts, better signals, and you keep the simple blue → green (or back) switch.
