Spinnaker Plugin

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

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

1. Install

Prerequisites:

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

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.
