Broadcom Automic Automation vs. Spinnaker

Automic One Automation Platform (formerly CA Automic Automation Platform) is well suited for applications such as SAP and operating systems such as windows, Linux. It can be used to automate these applications as it can be done through remote function calls and business application peripheral interfaces. It can also be used to run scripts on remote machines, which further enables automation of ms office applications such as ms Excel and MS Word.

Spinnaker is a strong solution for Continuous Deployment being able to manage enormous environments in an easy way. Even Spinnaker being able to manage environments based on cloud instances (ec2 for example) I believe it is more suitable for containerized environments. Mainly in Kubernetes where it excels as a reliable and safe tool
