Welcome to 2021! Here’s what you can expect from Armory this year

Welcome to the new year! Here are some current updates and the latest with Armory as we continue to add to our platform to enable cloud-native software delivery for any workload.

1. Full GitOps model for managing Armory’s enterprise-grade distribution of Spinnaker

Armory has introduced three new features that allow any organization to quickly gain benefit out of Armory.  With these features, you can deploy code to any cloud platform with our best-in-class continuous delivery (CD) platform.

• • Armory Operator Custom Resource Definition (CRD) for yaml based installs:  https://docs.armory.io/docs/installation/operator/
    • Armory Kustomize patch yamls:  https://github.com/armory/spinnaker-kustomize-patches. 
      

• • Armory Pipelines-as-code and CRD:  https://docs.armory.io/docs/spinnaker-user-guides/using-dinghy/
    •  Armory Pipelines as CRD:  https://docs.armory.io/docs/spinnaker-user-guides/pacrd/
  • Armory Integrations as Code: Integrate with Jenkins, Git, JIRA, ServiceNow as Code through YAML: https://docs.armory.io/docs/armory-admin/jenkins-connect/

2. Full (IaC) integrations with Terraform and Pulumi

Armory has been listening.  Organizations are looking to automate the provisioning of Infrastructure critical to running their workloads in the cloud.  This is completely streamlined as part of the build, deploy, release process with Armory.

• • Armory Terraformer: https://docs.armory.io/docs/armory-admin/terraform-enable-integration/
  • Armory Pulumi Plug-in: https://www.armory.io/blog/extend-spinnaker-to-make-your-existing-software-delivery-tooling-more-valuable/

3. Armory Agent for Kubernetes.

Armory is working with Kubernetes shops running at some of the highest scales in the industry.  We understand the explosion of clusters, namespaces, and pods. We put these issues top of mind as we develop a cutting-edge continuous delivery platform that solves the complex issues teams face at blitzscale.
