summary
Panelists explain why teams consolidate CI/CD on Spinnaker: consolidation across AWS, Terraform and Kubernetes to remove toil, integrations with Jenkins and Envoy, and measured velocity improvements like 15–20 deploys a day for large services and going from four deployments a week to >10 per day at another company. They describe concrete pains — ran out of Redis storage for execution state, custom Java plugin work, auth/telemetry integrations, and choices around MySQL, Open Policy Agent and Armory — useful if deciding whether to adopt or operate Spinnaker.
