GitOps is a set of best‑practice principles that treat a Git repository as the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and application code, enabling faster, auditable, and automated deployments to Kubernetes clusters, and can be realized using tools like OpsMx Enterprise for Spinnaker.
This article explains why complex applications benefit from ChatOps during development and testing, describes how to integrate CI/CD pipelines with instant‑messaging platforms, outlines tool selections such as Helm and Spinnaker, and shows how fast‑debugging tools like Nocalhost streamline the workflow.
This article explains how Spinnaker enables continuous delivery on Kubernetes by describing its role, architecture, pipeline design, workflow steps, and best practices for deploying applications across multiple cloud providers in a cloud‑native environment.
This guide walks through installing the Spinnaker continuous‑delivery platform on a Kubernetes 1.16+ cluster using Helm 3, covering environment preparation, Helm chart adjustments for API version compatibility, storage class configuration, proxy settings for Halyard, and exposing the service via Traefik IngressRoute.
Learn how to build a repeatable, secure Spinnaker pipeline that automatically runs database migrations and deploys a Go‑based API service to Kubernetes, using Docker images, Run Job stages, and environment variables, without writing custom scripts.
Spinnaker, Netflix’s open‑source continuous‑delivery platform, enables cloud‑native microservice teams to automate, test, and deploy applications across multiple clouds with features like blue‑green and canary releases, a modular microservice architecture, Slack notifications, Chaos Monkey integration, and Artifactory package management.
The article explains Netflix's end‑to‑end build and deployment pipeline, detailing how Nebula, Jenkins, Spinnaker, and AWS are combined with a culture of cloud‑native microservices to deliver code from local compilation to immutable AMI‑based releases across regions in about sixteen minutes.
