Executing Policies within CD Pipelines with OPA - AbdulBasit Kabir, Interswitch

It is common for organizations to have policies guiding their SDLC. Policies like who can deploy & approve, deployment windows, allowed artifact source, mandatory approval steps, and much more. These policies are most often hardcoded during tools setup or enforced through reliance on the goodwill people following "standard" practices. We all know that's not always the case. Policy engines like OPA (Open Policy Agent) help automate the enforcement of policies (defined as code). This talk covers some basics of OPA and policy enforcement within Continuous Delivery

Improving Visibility and Traceability of Deployed Container Artifacts via Spinnaker’s BuildCi - Nima Kaviani & Manabu McCloskey, Amazon Web Services

As containerization becomes an integral part of deploying software reliably, traceability and visibility over what gets deployed becomes ever more important. Ideally, as part of the deployment process, release engineers would be able to track deployed containers back to the right version of the written code, investigate changes, and gain insight over the build process. While baking code into container artifacts has been a core part of Spinnaker, the introduction of CiBuild as a mechanism to increase insights into what gets built, is a new feature enabled in a collaboration between Netflix and AWS. In this talk, we will discuss architecture, implementation, and enablement of the new CiBuild plugin, and how it empowers the Spinnaker community to integrate their build systems, code repositories, and container registries into their Spinnaker deployments.

Moving Beyond CVEs: Why We Need a Strong Security Posture in Open Source? - Alice Chen, Armory & Beth Fuller, Themist

At last year's Spinnaker Summit, Beth shared the Security SIG's progress in implementing a Vulnerability Management Process for OSS Spinnaker, and the "why" behind it. Digging more into security has highlighted the importance of implementing and communicating intentional security practices in an OSS project. In this talk, we'll look beyond Spinnaker to explain why having a good security posture means a lot more than just CVEs. What does it look like to shift left in OSS? How does doing so make life easier for the Security Engineer persona? We'll make a case for codifying open source security processes through both automation and governance, and recommend an upstream CI experience to make projects safer and OSS users' lives easier.

OpsMx Workshop - Spinnaker: Source to Production with Rollout Strategies - Nirmalaya Sen, Robert Boule & Gopinath Rebela, OpsMx

In this workshop, you will learn how to use Spinnaker to automate the whole process from code check-in to git to all the way to deploy to your production system. You will learn how you can deploy to different cloud environments - Kubernetes, AWS. You will learn how you can integrate your CI systems (Jenkins in this case) to build your artifacts. Finally, deploy them through the stage to production with approval controls and only have authorized people to deploy to production. And you will also learn how you can leverage Spinnaker to roll back your deployment if the new release does not work as expected.

Spinnaker @ Cisco - Scaling To Support Large Diverse Applications - Anil Anaberumutt, Cisco & Balaji Sivasubramanian, OpsMX

Cisco adopted Spinnaker more than 2 years ago and has onboarded more than 1000+ applications. Cisco IT started off using Spinnaker for deploying primarily container-based applications to on-prem cloud platforms (OpenShift). As Cisco found success in Spinnaker, it is being rolled out to larger engineering teams (10,000+ developers). The Spinnaker team at Cisco has to evolve Spinnaker to support varied development requirements around multiple clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP), infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), helm based deployments, custom scripts as well as deploying to Snowflake (SaaS data warehouse), Teradata, and Informatica (Data Analytics platforms).
In this session, you will learn how Cisco evolved Spinnaker for these various applications at scale as well as best practices and lessons learned.
