Question and Answer with Ethan Rogers: Spinnaker and Kubernetes

Apr 3, 2018 by Armory

Ethan Rogers is a build & release engineer, and also a very helpful member and Spinnaker expert in the OSS Spinnaker Community. Ethan swung by Armory HQ for a video with DROdio, CEO of Armory, and Ben, CPO of Armory to discuss:

What is Spinnaker? How’s it different from deploying software with Jenkins, Ansible, Chef, Puppet or other mutable configuration management technologies?
What makes Spinnaker special? Why do companies need it?
How does Spinnaker enable companies to better leverage Kubernetes? Why not just deploy directly with Kubernetes? What are the benefits afforded by Spinnaker?
And much more. Enjoy!
