Spinnaker

Spinnaker is an open-source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform designed to help organizations release software changes with high velocity and confidence. Originally created at Netflix, it has been battle-tested in production by numerous teams across millions of deployments.

At its core, Spinnaker combines a powerful and flexible pipeline management system with integrations to major cloud providers. This allows teams to automate their release processes, incorporating integration and system tests, server group management, and rollout monitoring. Pipelines can be triggered via various events, including Git events, Jenkins jobs, Travis CI builds, Docker image updates, CRON schedules, or even other Spinnaker pipelines.

Spinnaker promotes built-in deployment best practices, such as creating and deploying immutable images. This leads to faster rollouts, easier rollbacks, and the elimination of configuration drift issues. It supports immutable infrastructure in the cloud with deployment strategies like blue/green and canary deployments.

Spinnaker's multi-cloud capabilities enable deployments across various cloud providers, including AWS EC2, Kubernetes, Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Google App Engine, Microsoft Azure, Openstack, Cloud Foundry, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It is ideal for organizations looking to standardize their release processes across multiple cloud environments and improve the overall quality and velocity of their software deployments.
