Spinnaker - A powerful Continuous Deployment solution with all that you need out of the box.
We are using Spinnaker as our main CD platform for one of our products which is based on Kubernetes. At this moment, the environment is based in just one cloud provider (AWS) but we have plans to deploy also in Azure. Currently it is being used just for my team, with some read-only profiles for people from development team.
- Fast deployments.
- Can be integrated with a good variety of other products.
- Also provides some insights from your environment.
- Integration with external authentication mechanism is not that simple.
- Its configuration is made by a external tool (halyard). Would be better if we could configure it by using its own frontend.
- Its user interface is some times a bit confusing.
We use Spinnaker for continuous delivery in AWS and AWS AMI re-staking!
- Spinnaker is very strong in its ability to baking of AMI(with ROSCO) and code deployments for Linux based ec2/AMI. Below are some more points:
- Out of the box deployment strategies.
- Open Source and active development.
- Multi cloud deployments ( also can integrate with kubernetes)
- Automated triggers.
- Manual Judgements.
- In-house bakery service, which helps in immutable deployments.
- Easy pipeline setups using the UI , no need to write complex CFNs for code deployments.
- "One click resize" of the underlying ec2s.
- Exactly "one click rollback".
- Pipelines can be scripted (SPEL)
- Excellent search feature to search LBs , clusters etc from the UI.
- Both high level and low level view of clusters, which has fine-grained options to control cloud infra from Spinnaker UI itself.
- SSO and RBAC supported.
- Wide range of deployment strategies like Blue-Green , Highlanders etc.
- It does NOT support CFN based deployments
- Windows based systems finds it difficult to onboard to Spinnaker.
- Pipeline level access authorisation is not there.
- Support for EBS volume encryption is probably missing.
- Attach/detach EBS volumes during deployments is difficult.
- No support to deploy the artifacts without re-creating the servers. Only pure immutable deployment are allowed.
- Open-source - so good and bad!
- Spinnaker on its own has 10 underlying micro services. Managing Spinnaker needs a focussed platform approach.
- User authentication is easy but authorisation management is not straight forward.

Spinnaker is a great tool for CD in AWS
Leveraging Spinnaker to enable Fast, Frequent, Fearless deployments, delightful service operation, and increased AWS migrations. We are adopting Spinnaker because we believe in the patterns and practices it promotes around CICD and agile, iterative delivery. We believe as the team building this solution for the company we must be early adopters of these practices, we must evangelize those patterns and practices, and we must use them deliver value for customers as quickly as possible.
- The immutable way of deployment is one of its greatest advantages.
- We have a strict policy to restock our instances with new images very frequently and this can be done very seamlessly via Spinnaker
- Rollback/ resize of clusters is one of the coolest features of Spinnaker.
- Spinnaker on its own has 10 underlying micro services. Managing Spinnaker needs a focussed platform approach
- No support to deploy the artifacts without re-creating the servers. Only pure immutable deployment are allowed.
- No authorization at pipelines level
