In this post we will talk about the RUN part, and how to deploy and manage in Kubernetes.

Use Kubernetes namespaces for different projects/environments. For example: projectname-dev, projectname-test, projectname-staging. This allows the required separation between pods/services inside each namespace, allowing to create the same service name in multiple environments. Also allowing to delete a complete environment by deleting its namespace.
Use same docker image for deploying in multiple environments and use Kubernetes ConfigMaps (will explain shortly below) to change the configuration files (database connections or urls).
Name external resources like what you named Kubernetes namespaces. For example: database names, urls routes like http://projectname-dev.k8s.com or file system folders for content, environment names in…
