About this project

Spinnaker is an open-source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform designed for releasing software changes with high velocity and confidence. It provides a single platform for safely deploying and managing applications across multiple cloud environments including AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, and others. Key capabilities include: - Pipeline Orchestration: Create and manage application workflows through a GUI or config-as-code, involving VM deployments, container deployments, load balancers, security groups, server groups, clusters, firewalls, and functions. - Multi-Cloud Support: Deploy to all major public cloud providers and Kubernetes through Clouddriver, with support for GitOps workflows and infrastructure provisioning. - Canary Analysis: Automated canary deployments provide safety mechanisms for capturing value from quick innovation while protecting against business and end-user impact. - Microservices Architecture: Spinnaker consists of independent microservices managed by the Halyard CLI tool or the Kubernetes Operator (Beta). - Plugin Framework: Extensible plugin system allows adding system integrations without updating Spinnaker, broadening its potential to leverage the entire software delivery toolchain. - Managed Delivery: A newer feature set providing declarative definitions of common infrastructure and other requirements, allowing users to declare requirements using prebuilt definitions and move changes through environments via a visual interface. The platform is used by numerous organizations including Target, Salesforce, Airbnb, Cerner, Adobe, JPMorgan Chase, and more. It is built upon the work of Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and numerous other companies. This repository serves as a central issue tracking hub across the various Spinnaker microservices. The core code for each microservice is found in separate Spinnaker repositories. For development setup, users can pull Spinnaker from source and configure it to run locally against supported cloud providers following the Developer Setup Guide.
