+Rollout flow:
+* scan namespace for deployments marked for rollout 
+* scan namespace for a corresponding canary deployment (`-canary` prefix)
+* check Istio virtual service routes are mapped to GA and canary ClusterIP services
+* check GA and Canary deployments status (halt rollout if a rolling update is underway or if pods are in crash loop)
+* increase canary traffic weight percentage by 10%
+* check canary HTTP success rate (halt rollout if percentage is under the specified threshold)
+* advance canary traffic wight by 10% till it reaches 100% (halt rollout if deployments are unhealthy or success rate is under the threshold)
+* promote canary to GA (copy canary deployment spec template over GA)
+* wait for GA rolling update to finish
+* scale to zero the canary deployment
+* mark rollout deployment as finished
+* wait for canary deployment to be updated (revision bump) and start over
