Admiral

Promote to production

Copy your tested changeset from dev to prod

You have a working setup in dev: a workload wired to an infrastructure output. Promotion ships that same, tested setup to prod. Promotion is a copy, not a link: Admiral clones the changes into a new changeset in prod, re-based on prod's own state, and the per-environment values resolve against prod's variables.

1. Promote the changeset

# TODO: confirm the promote/copy verb and target-env flag.
admiral changeset promote <dev-changeset> --to demo/prod

Open the applied dev changeset and choose Promote to prod. Admiral creates a new, open changeset in prod.

2. Review against prod and apply

The promoted changeset is reviewed against prod's own deployed state, not dev's. Plan it, check the diff, and apply.

admiral changeset plan  <prod-changeset>
admiral changeset apply <prod-changeset>

Review the diff in the prod changeset, then Apply.

You're done

You connected a cluster, deployed a real workload, wired an infrastructure output into it, and promoted the whole thing from dev to prod - the core Admiral loop end to end.
