Spinnaker Summit 2022

Many organizations use more than one CI/CD tools as part of their pipelines and most of the times the organizations implement their own glue code in order to make the tools work with each other. Due to these concerns, CDEvents project hosted by the CDF started working on a common specification for Continuous Delivery events based on CloudEvents hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). CDEvents enables interoperability in the complete software production ecosystem, helping CI/CD tools and services to communicate with each other about occurrences in a CI/CD ecosystem. As part of its work, the community created a Go-SDK to introduce native CDEvents support to various cloud native CI/CD technologies such as Keptn and Tekton. A new Java-SDK has also been developed to bring other CI/CD technologies into the picture such as Spinnaker. In this session, we will talk about the interoperability challenges within the CI/CD ecosystem and how CDEvents aims to overcome those. We will also talk about Java SDK and our proposal to contribute CDEvents support to Spinnaker Community which enables Spinnaker to communicate with other CI/CD tools within the ecosystem.
