Apply Kubernetes Deployment

What it does

This action creates and updates resources in a Kubernetes cluster through running kubectl apply. This is the recommended way of managing Kubernetes applications on production.

How it works

The action, apart from executing kubectl apply continuously, checks up to 90 minutes if the deployment is applied. If something goes wrong, the action fails with a proper error message.
