Codefresh vs. Spinnaker

While deploying docker images on kubernetes pods I must say Codefresh helped me a lot. It has made my work easy as an Automation tool. I can setup a simple pipelines to automate my build for kubernetes. but for more complex pipelines Codefresh need some improvement

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

• Continuous Integration and Continuous Development. we can setup jobs that automatically triggered when there is any changes in code and starts building up the build images automatically and then pushing images to Container Registry
• We can involve Version control system like github, bitbucket, gitlab etc for integration of Codefresh with our code stored in these Version control systems.
• On the failure of any jobs/pipeline Codefresh can also send Notification on our email.

Incentivized

• The immutable way of deployment is one of its greatest advantages.
• We have a strict policy to restock our instances with new images very frequently and this can be done very seamlessly via Spinnaker
• Rollback/ resize of clusters is one of the coolest features of Spinnaker.

Incentivized

• With Codefresh it's become hard to handle complex pipelines
• Need to focus more on Documentation part
• UI can be more attractive
• Security can be more increased

• Integration with external authentication mechanism is not that simple.
• Its configuration is made by a external tool (halyard). Would be better if we could configure it by using its own frontend.
• Its user interface is some times a bit confusing.

It's very scalable It is cost effective It easily get integrated with third party tools It easily get integrated with Kubernetes Docker.

• Pipeline Expressiveness • Self-Service/Override • Visibility of Client Teams • Operability of Client Teams - • High-Quality Integrations (AWS, IHP, Google) • Extensibility – (Ability to add code) • The maturity of Deployment Process • Speed/Ease of Onboarding

• Positive:
• As an Automation tools I must say it has reduced manual labour , reduced errors and improved quality of work.
• It easily get integrated with third party tools which increases ease ness in our work
• Negative:
• Although being a very good tools in CI/CD
• It requires improvement in UI, it's speed, security, optimization.

Incentivized

• It's open source!
• RPM based deployments can be scripted at Maven file itself , so very easy!
• RPM based deployments bundles all code and configs together, so awesome!
