Spinnaker Plugin

The Spinnaker plugin lets developers trigger application environments on-demand directly from their Spinnaker pipelines. Spinnaker users can easily integrate the Stack Automation environments-as-a-service platform into their projects by utilizing the Stack Automation plugin’s pre-defined commands.

To integrate Stack Automation with the Spinnaker plugin, make sure to complete the next few steps.

1. Install

Prerequisites:

• This plugin integrates Stack Automation into your Pipelines in Spinnaker 1.23.0 and above.

Install the plugin:

• Read how to add the Halyard file that will be used to load the orca file, and how to add the profile file to load the Deck frontend here.

2. Configure

1. When adding the Halyard file, you’ll need to provide the following parameters:
   • torqueUrl - Use https://portal.qtorque.io
   • account - The Stack Automation account name (optional)
   • torqueToken - Use the token with the value generated below:
2. Click the Generate New Token button in the plugin's instructions pane.

3. Verify and launch

Once installed, you’ll have 2 new stage types that you could use as part of your pipelines:

• Torque Start Sandbox - will be used to start a new environment. Its outputs can be used to run the rest of the pipeline with this newly-deployed environment.
• Torque End Sandbox - once the tests are completed, you can end the sandbox to teardown the environment.
