Spinnaker is an open-source continuous delivery platform, created at Netflix and stewarded by the Continuous Delivery Foundation, that helps teams release software across many clouds with high velocity and confidence. This book starts with the deployment model Spinnaker invented — applications, clusters, and immutable server groups — then builds up its pipeline engine of stages and triggers, the deployment strategies that make releases safe (red/black, rolling, and canary), and automated canary analysis with Kayenta. It opens up the microservices architecture one service at a time — Deck, Gate, Orca, Clouddriver, Front50, Igor, Echo, Rosco, Fiat — covers authorization and security, and closes with the practices that make Spinnaker pay off in production.
