Armory Is Committed to Open Source Spinnaker
Spinnaker is an open source, multicloud continuous delivery platform. Armory is Enterprise Spinnaker. We believe in open source, not in forking the project. As the Spinnaker experts, we take a three-pronged approach to developing Spinnaker:
- Extend open source Spinnaker with enterprise features.
- Shape the vision of the open source project through our customers’ stories.
- Help the community build that vision.
Learn How We Shape the Vision
- Governance: Armory established and leads many of the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that steer the feature growth on the Spinnaker project, including the Kubernetes, AWS, Security, Documentation, and Platform SIGs. Armory also actively participates in many others.
- Technical Leadership: As part of the Technical Oversight Committee, Armory Engineer Ethan helps guide the project and acts as a resource for the Spinnaker community.
- Community Building: We provide 101 training and engaging sessions to Spinnaker Summit attendees, and host Spinnaker events like meetups and hackathons year-round.
- Enterprise Experience: Our input, based on our expertise empowering enterprises to deliver software to production with Spinnaker, shapes the OSS roadmap.
Learn How We Build the Software
- With over 2,500 contributions to the ecosystem, Armory is the #3 contributor to Spinnaker, after Google and Netflix.
- As the enterprise Spinnaker, Armory brings solutions that begin as customer use cases into the codebase.
- Armory engineers collaborate with teams at Netflix, Google, AWS, and other organizations to build Spinnaker features.
Key Features Open Sourced by Armory
Dynamic Account Configuration
Built by Armory Engineers. Load configurations from a remote source, such as GitHub, and dynamically refresh that configuration without restarting Clouddriver.
Kubernetes Operator for Spinnaker
Incubated at Armory and merged into the Spinnaker project. Easily manage the lifecycle of Spinnaker deployments by using Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to install, configure, manage, and upgrade Spinnaker via the Operator.
Kustomize Support
Built by Armory Engineers. Use Kustomize as a templating engine for Spinnaker, allowing you to create customized Kubernetes deployments without modifying underlying YAML configuration files.
Plugins Framework
Incubated at Armory and merged into the Spinnaker project. Extend Spinnaker faster and more easily by building a plugin for your needs, and open sourcing it if you like. The Plugins Framework enables anyone in the community this ability.
