Spinnaker is a strong solution for Continuous Deployment being able to manage enormous environments in an easy way. Even Spinnaker being able to manage environments based on cloud instances (ec2 for example) I believe it is more suitable for containerized environments. Mainly in Kubernetes where it excels as a reliable and safe tool

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • 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.
