Perform a Blue/Green Deployment

There is a Deployment in the hive Namespace called internal-api-blue.

A Service called api-svc directs traffic to this Deployment's Pods.

You can find a YAML manifest for the Deployment at /home/cloud_user/internal-api-blue.yml. Make a copy of this manifest at /home/cloud_user/internal-api-green.yml. Modify the manifest to create a green Deployment called internal-api-green. For the green Deployment, use the image linuxacademycontent/ckad-nginx:green.

Update the Service to point only to the green Deployment's Pods.
