Audience: The site says Spinnaker is for teams looking to standardize release processes and improve quality.
Automated releases: Pipelines can run integration and system tests, manage server groups, monitor rollouts, and be triggered by events including Git, Jenkins, Travis CI, Docker, or CRON.
Deployment strategies: Built-in strategies include blue/green and canary deployments, and users can define custom strategies.
Cloud providers: The documentation lists AWS, Azure, Cloud Foundry, Google Compute Engine, Kubernetes, Oracle Cloud, and App Engine as supported providers.
Provider setup: Spinnaker requires at least one enabled cloud provider and an account configured for it to deploy applications.
CI and source integrations: The FAQ lists Jenkins, Travis, AWS CodeBuild, Concourse, Google CodeBuild, and Artifactory as CI integrations, and GitHub, Bitbucket Server/Stash, and GitLab among source repository integrations.
Security: Spinnaker supports authentication through systems such as OAuth 2.0, SAML, or LDAP, and authorization through role providers including Google Groups, GitHub Teams, SAML roles, or LDAP groups.
Transport security: Spinnaker supports SSL to secure communication for its UI and API.
Installation: The recommended installation path is a Kubernetes cluster; local Debian packages are also documented for smaller deployments.
Local installation requirements: The local Debian installation guide recommends at least 4 cores and 16GB of RAM and notes that a single-machine deployment may have downtime.
