To acquire spin, do the following:

On Linux

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/spinnaker-artifacts/spin/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/spinnaker-artifacts/spin/latest)/linux/amd64/spin

chmod +x spin

sudo mv spin /usr/local/bin/spin

On MacOS

# Apple Silicon
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/spinnaker-artifacts/spin/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/spinnaker-artifacts/spin/latest)/darwin/arm64/spin
# Intel
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/spinnaker-artifacts/spin/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/spinnaker-artifacts/spin/latest)/darwin/amd64/spin

chmod +x spin

sudo mv spin /usr/local/bin/spin

On Windows

New-Item -ItemType Directory $env:LOCALAPPDATA\spin -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile $env:LOCALAPPDATA\spin\spin.exe -UseBasicParsing "https://storage.googleapis.com/spinnaker-artifacts/spin/$([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Invoke-WebRequest https://storage.googleapis.com/spinnaker-artifacts/spin/latest).Content) -replace "`n")/windows/amd64/spin.exe"

Unblock-File $env:LOCALAPPDATA\spin\spin.exe

$path = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User) -split ";"
if ($path -inotcontains "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\spin") {
  $path += "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\spin"
  [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", $path -join ";", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

  $env:PATH = (([Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine) -split ";") + $path) -join ";"
}

Configure `spin`

spin reads its configuration from ~/.spin/config.

Set up Canary Analysis Support

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Setting up automated canary analysis in Spinnaker consists of configuration for Kayenta which does canary analysis by querying metrics, storing the canary configuration templates, and storage for the canary reports in a storage location. Before you can use the canary analysis service, you must configure at least one metrics service, and at least one storage service. The most common setup is to have one metrics service configured (e.g. Stackdriver, Atlas, Prometheus, Datadog or New Relic) and one storage service (e.g. S3, GCS or Minio) configured.

Clouddriver Account Management

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Spinnaker 1.28 introduced an alpha API for loading, storing, updating, and otherwise managing Clouddriver account configurations from a database. Combined with a supported external secrets manager , account credentials can be provided by end users when setting up an account configuration.

The following table lists the Clouddriver account types that currently support the account management API. Note that the type discriminator is used as the value for the key @type in the JSON representation of an account definition.

External Account Configuration

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This page describes Spinnaker’s external configuration feature. Using external configuration, you can manage account configuration (either complete account configuration, or only secrets such as account passwords) externally from Spinnaker.

External configuration uses the open-source Spring Cloud Config project, which includes a configuration server and client libraries to support centralized external configuration in a distributed system. The Config Server connects to a remote configuration repository and serves stored configuration properties to client applications.
