Introduction and Scope Spinnaker supports multiple deployment strategies for deployments to Kubernetes. Among them, Canary Analysis and Blue-Green are popular and widely used. In Canary Analysis, an application or a service is incrementally released to a subset of users. All infrastructure in a target environment is updated in small phases (e.g: 2%, 25%, 75%, 100%). A canary release is the lowest risk-prone, compared to […]

While deploying an application to the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters with Spinnaker, users need Azure accounts with proper authorization ( service principal key ) to access the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) resources. An Azure service principal (a special user) is an identity created for use with applications, hosted services, and automated tools to access Azure resources. This access key is restricted by the roles assigned to the service principal, giving you control over which resources can be accessed and at which level.
