Cutting-edge Continuous Delivery: Automated Canary Analysis through Spinnaker - Spring One Platform 2019

The Spring team has been working on continuous delivery for a couple of years now. Spring Cloud Pipelines used to be Spring’s approach to deploy your applications into production, using tools like Jenkins or Concourse. However, those platforms’ key strength lies in continuous integration, and lack internal state representing the deployed landscape across clouds and regions.

That state is required to effectively perform deployment strategies, like cutting-edge automated canary analysis. Spinnaker’s autonomous judge, which analyzes metrics of both baseline and canary deployments, drives deployment strategies based on automated data-driven decisions.

Spinnaker is a stateful, open-source, multi-region, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform, fully written in Spring. It started at Netflix but now involves a wider community of contributors from Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Pivotal, and many others.

  1. Cover w/ Image Who’s this guy? ▪ Andreas Evers -

    Senior Solutions Architect at Pivotal ▪ Part of Application Transformation (AppTx) EMEA ▪ Active in Pivotal’s Spinnaker team (collaboration between Spring & Cloud Foundry R&D) ▪ @andreasevers on Twitter
  2. The ultimate goal of continuous delivery is to deploy software

    quickly & automatically. This can only be achieved if we’re able to push new code without fear.

  7. Rick And Morty ▪ Green protagonist ▪ Rick turns himself

    into a pickle to avoid family therapy ▪ Rolls into the sewer and has to fight rats and cockroaches ▪ Comes out victorious ▪ Very strong, predictable and stable green version
  8. Rick And Morty ▪ Blue antagonist ▪ Genie in a

    box who exists only to solve the task at hand ▪ Will go to great lengths to solve that task ▪ Gets aggressive if the task can’t be solved ▪ Dangerous, chaotic and unstable blue version
  9. Canary best practices ▪ Apply fine-grained traffic splits & content-based

    routing with Istio or other sophisticated load-balancing technologies ▪ Fine-tune the metrics you choose to reflect key service health indicators ▪ Include business metrics such as pirate metrics
  10. Canary best practices ▪ Run canaries long enough to gather

    enough data points ▪ Use the metrics store explorer to figure out what metric expressions to use ▪ Align the data points from both canary and baseline deployments using time series aggregators / reducers carefully ▪ Take advantage of SpEL templating to avoid manifest hell
