SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mirantis today announced the availability of Spinnaker Fundamentals, a hands on, instructor led training program aimed at DevOps professionals looking to learn best practices in cloud native continuous delivery and immutable infrastructure.
Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform for releasing software changes with high velocity and confidence. Created at Netflix, it has been battle-tested in production by hundreds of teams over millions of deployments. It combines a powerful and flexible pipeline management system with integrations to the major cloud providers.
Based on upstream Spinnaker, the Spinnaker Fundamentals (SPIN50) course will cover the first principles of safe, frequent, and reliable software releases: Immutable infrastructure, deployment strategies, automation, and operational integration. Targeted to “do it yourself” Spinnaker users, students will learn both from presentations, and with a workshop where they will gain hands on experience with Spinnaker. Students will ultimately be able to manage and set up the Spinnaker continuous delivery tool on Kubernetes. In this course Spinnaker is used as the CI/CD pipeline for a kubernetes cluster.
“Spinnaker is used to deploy more than 95% of Netflix infrastructure in AWS, with hundreds of microservices and thousands of deployments every day. With this pedigree, many other businesses can leverage Spinnaker,” said Tomasz Barczyk, Director, Engineering Services EU. “This course will get developers up and running on this valuable platform.”
Mirantis first announced their product based on Spinnaker back in April with the release of the Mirantis Application Platform. The Mirantis Application Platform helps enterprises run applications in the public cloud, employing the approach pioneered by hyperscalers like Netflix and Google and commonly referred to as cloud-native continuous delivery.
Mirantis has been a leader in open source training for 7 years, training more than 20,000 cloud professionals, many of whom are employed with Fortune 500 companies.
The first SPIN50 class from Mirantis will take place on September 24 in Campbell, CA and in a live virtual format, and is currently available at an introductory price.
