Long Setup (> 1 day)

You can use Spinnaker to manage and automate software deployments across multiple cloud providers like AWS, Kubernetes, Google Cloud, Azure, and more. It lets you build deployment pipelines that run tests, manage server groups, and monitor rollouts. You can trigger deployments from Jenkins, Travis CI, GitHub events, or Docker registries. It includes built-in deployment strategies like blue/green and canary, role-based access control, monitoring integrations, and manual approval gates for safer releases.
