Gardening participants have options when it comes to development environments, and one goal of the event is to help participants become comfortable setting up a development environment and workflow for Spinnaker.
For Fall 2020 Summit Gardening Days, Armory will provide a managed sandbox environment in AWS EKS, thanks to our sponsor, Amazon Web Services. Each Gardening participant who enrolls in the New Spin Contributor Workshop or requests a sandbox via Slack is assigned their own namespace in the cluster, with access to that namespace only. Participants can follow the workshop video and guide to install Spinnaker there, and then use Telepresence to set up a local development environment for Spinnaker services that is connected to the remote K8S cluster.
To request a sandbox, @ mention @Fernando Freire in #gardening-training, and we'll create one for you to develop in.
There are a number of ways to create a development environment for Spinnaker, including:
- Use Minnaker, an all-in-one quickstart developed at Armory
- Install and configure the Spinnaker services on your local machine
- Install Spinnaker on Kubernetes running in the location of your choice
Read the documentation for these methods in the Gardening area on the Spinnaker website.
