Hi Aurelie--
Interesting way to present the topic.
Question: Do you use weighted routing in your production? Though I played with it; I never had a use case.
I do use Istio mostly for "Dark Release" or "Feature Flag Releases" though. And as the Ingress Controller.

What software do you use for creating the sketchnotes?

Hi
Thanks 🙂

For the moment we are using weight with only 100%. We are working first of all on a real Continuous Deployment tool like ArgoCD.

Features flags release, dark release and blue green can be good deployment architecture, depending on the context, the needs and the team. I talk about canary release because everybody talk about it, I plan to explain others architecture 🙂.

For sketchnoting I use for the moment Samsung s4 tablet, pencil and Samsung Notes.
It's not the better material but for the moment I use what I have 😊.

Interesting that you are able to pull it off with just a pencil. Real talent there.
I think you should publish your series on Slideshare also. It is not so legible the posting here.

Anyway, I look forward to more sketches.
