Wrapping up our step-by-step walk-through by deploying an application to a GKE cluster.

This is part of a series (starting with Spinnaker by Example: Part 1) providing a step-by-step walk-through for installing and using Spinnaker to deploy applications to a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. The final set of configuration files provided throughout this series of articles is available for download. So far our focus has been on the installation and configuration aspects of Spinnaker. In this article, we wrap up this series with a simple example of deploying an application to a GKE cluster.

The bad news is that using Spinnaker is surprisingly confusing; I believe it is related to how flexible and powerful it is. The good news, however, is that Spinnaker provides a number of Codelabs that walk one through particular scenarios. The better news is that there is a Codelab, Kubernetes Source To Prod, that walks through our particular scenario of deploying an application to a Kubernetes cluster. This article is closely aligned with this Codelab; just provides a bit more detail and is updated for the latest version of Spinnaker (1.23.1).
