Spinnaker @ Upside: Getting Started, Establishing Culture & Deploying Microservices with Confidence
After evaluating Spinnaker’s capabilities, you have taken the plunge and decided to adopt it to handle your microservice deployments. But what’s next? In this talk, Christopher Rung and Jeremy Deppen, SREs from Upside Business Travel, will discuss their experience bringing Spinnaker to Upside. They will first discuss how they overcame some challenges they faced during installation. After Spinnaker is successfully deployed, how do you migrate your existing deployment strategy to use Spinnaker? Christopher and Jeremy will discuss Upside’s approach to migrating services in batches to Spinnaker Applications while preserving existing deployment strategies, and how they educated their colleagues about how to use Spinnaker. Finally, they will share a method to produce “sandbox” pipelines and pipeline templates that allow them to test changes worry-free.
