Deploy Agent

Deploy or update an AI agent to a specific version via GitOps (recommended) or kubectl (immediate).

Arguments

• agent-name: k8s-monitor, news-monitor (required)
• version: Image tag to deploy (optional, shows current if omitted)
• --immediate: Use kubectl instead of GitOps (bypasses Flux)

Instructions

Show Current Version

cd /home/al/git/kubani
grep "image: registry.almckay.io/${AGENT_NAME}:" gitops/apps/ai-agents/${AGENT_NAME}/deployment.yaml | head -1

GitOps Deploy (Default - Recommended)

1. Update the GitOps manifest:

   cd /home/al/git/kubani
   sed -i "s|registry.almckay.io/${AGENT_NAME}:[^ ]*|registry.almckay.io/${AGENT_NAME}:${VERSION}|g" \
     gitops/apps/ai-agents/${AGENT_NAME}/deployment.yaml
   

2. Commit and push:

   git add gitops/apps/ai-agents/${AGENT_NAME}/deployment.yaml
   git commit -m "chore(gitops): deploy ${AGENT_NAME}:${VERSION}"
   git push
   

3. Monitor the rollout:

   KUBECONFIG=/home/al/.kube/config kubectl rollout status deployment/${AGENT_NAME} -n ai-agents --timeout=120s
   

Immediate Deploy (--immediate flag)

Use kubectl directly for faster deployment (bypasses GitOps):

KUBECONFIG=/home/al/.kube/config kubectl set image deployment/${AGENT_NAME} \
  --all \
  -n ai-agents \
  "*=registry.almckay.io/${AGENT_NAME}:${VERSION}"

Note: Immediate deploys will be overwritten when Flux next syncs.

Finding Available Versions

# Check git history for previous tags
git log --oneline -10 gitops/apps/ai-agents/${AGENT_NAME}/deployment.yaml

# List recent image tags from registry
docker images | grep ${AGENT_NAME}

Version Format

• 0.1.0-abc1234 - Standard format: pyproject.toml version + git SHA
