Spinnaker is an open-source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform that helps you release software changes with high velocity and confidence. Open sourced by Netflix and heavily contributed to by Google, it supports all major cloud vendors (AWS, Azure, App Engine, Openstack, etc.) including Kubernetes.
Herein, how do you deploy to Spinnaker?
Installing a complete Spinnaker involves these steps:
- Install Halyard.
- Choose a cloud provider.
- Choose an environment.
- Choose a storage service.
- Deploy Spinnaker.
- Back up your config.
- Configure everything else (which includes a lot of stuff you need before you can use Spinnaker in production)
Similarly, is Spinnaker a CI tool?
Spinnaker can listen to events and collect artifacts produced by external Continuous Integration (CI) systems. Spinnaker can listen to events, and collect artifacts produced by builds in external Continuous Integration (CI) systems.
Is Spinnaker still used?
Currently, it is a CD Foundation Project and heavily contributed by Google, Netflix, Microsoft, AWS, OpsMx, etc. Spinnaker is a battle-tested tool to achieve modernize software delivery and is used extensively by Fortune 500 companies like Cisco, Standard Chattered, Salesforce, SAP, etc. Read more on What is Spinnaker.
What is the difference between Jenkins and Spinnaker?
Jenkins lacks capabilities as a complete deployment tool, especially for the cloud. Spinnaker has a richer deployment model with a master dashboard and native support for major cloud providers. Spinnaker still relies on a build server and must integrate with tools like Jenkins.
What is the difference between Spinnaker and Kubernetes?
A Spinnaker Instance maps to a Kubernetes Pod . What differentiates this from other Cloud Providers is the ability for Pods to run multiple containers at once, whereas typical IAAS providers in Spinnaker run exactly one image per Instance.
What is the use of Spinnaker?
What is Spinnaker? Spinnaker is a tool used for Application Management and Application Deployment, targeted towards cloud services. For application management, Spinnaker uses concepts like “Applications”, “Clusters” and “Server Groups” to describe and group deployed services.
Who built Spinnaker?
Spinnaker is a free and open-source continuous delivery software platform originally developed by Netflix and extended by Google. It is designed to work with Kubernetes, Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud. Spinnaker was developed by Netflix as a successor to the internally developed Asgard.
Who invented Spinnaker?
That’s the paradigm that has inspired the ‘Spiking Neural Network Architecture” (SpiNNaker) supercomputer at the University of Manchester in the UK. The project is the brainchild of Steve Furber, the designer of the original ARM processor.
Why is rancher used?
Rancher lets you streamline cluster deployment on bare metal, private clouds, public clouds or vSphere and secure them using global security policies. Use Helm or our App Catalog to deploy and manage applications across any or all these environments, ensuring multi-cluster consistency with a single deployment.
